Comment:

 We now have support for CJK segmentation using ICU (merged in
 [f881f0bd1609]).

 The patches here are all sadly very outdated (mostly my fault).  But I
 think at this point closing this ticket makes the most sense.

 If SCWS does a better job for Chinese than ICU we could potentially
 support both (and indeed other segmentation algorithms).  I think for
 maintainability additional alternatives would each needs to be wrapped up
 cleanly in an iterator class in the same way that `CJKNgramIterator` and
 `CJKWordIterator` wrap the ngram and ICU algorithms.
