* Detect more empty matches in tokenizer.explain()
* Include a few languages in explain non-slow tests
Mark a few languages in tokenizer.explain() tests as not slow so they're
run by default.
* Expose tokenizer rules as a property
Expose the tokenizer rules property in the same way as the other core
properties. (The cache resetting is overkill, but consistent with
`from_bytes` for now.)
Add tests and update Tokenizer API docs.
* Update Hungarian punctuation to remove empty string
Update Hungarian punctuation definitions so that `_units` does not match
an empty string.
* Use _load_special_tokenization consistently
Use `_load_special_tokenization()` and have it to handle `None` checks.
* Fix precedence of `token_match` vs. special cases
Remove `token_match` check from `_split_affixes()` so that special cases
have precedence over `token_match`. `token_match` is checked only before
infixes are split.
* Add `make_debug_doc()` to the Tokenizer
Add `make_debug_doc()` to the Tokenizer as a working implementation of
the pseudo-code in the docs.
Add a test (marked as slow) that checks that `nlp.tokenizer()` and
`nlp.tokenizer.make_debug_doc()` return the same non-whitespace tokens
for all languages that have `examples.sentences` that can be imported.
* Update tokenization usage docs
Update pseudo-code and algorithm description to correspond to
`nlp.tokenizer.make_debug_doc()` with example debugging usage.
Add more examples for customizing tokenizers while preserving the
existing defaults.
Minor edits / clarifications.
* Revert "Update Hungarian punctuation to remove empty string"
This reverts commit f0a577f7a5.
* Rework `make_debug_doc()` as `explain()`
Rework `make_debug_doc()` as `explain()`, which returns a list of
`(pattern_string, token_string)` tuples rather than a non-standard
`Doc`. Update docs and tests accordingly, leaving the visualization for
future work.
* Handle cases with bad tokenizer patterns
Detect when tokenizer patterns match empty prefixes and suffixes so that
`explain()` does not hang on bad patterns.
* Remove unused displacy image
* Add tokenizer.explain() to usage docs
* raise specific error when removing a matcher rule that doesn't exist
* rephrasing
* goldparse init: allocate fields only if doc is not empty
* avoid zero length alloc in saving tokenizer cache
* avoid allocating zero length mem in matcher
* asserts to avoid allocating zero length mem
* fix zero-length allocation in matcher
* bump cymem version
* revert cymem version bump
* Move prefix and suffix detection for URL_PATTERN
Move prefix and suffix detection for `URL_PATTERN` into the tokenizer.
Remove associated lookahead and lookbehind from `URL_PATTERN`.
Fix tokenization for Hungarian given new modified handling of prefixes
and suffixes.
* Match a wider range of URI schemes
spaCy v2.1 switched to the built-in re module, where v2.0 had been using
the third-party regex library. When the tokenizer was deserialized on
Python2.7, the `re.compile()` function was called with expressions that
featured escaped unicode codepoints that were not in Python2.7's unicode
database.
Problems occurred when we had a range between two of these unknown
codepoints, like this:
```
'[\\uAA77-\\uAA79]'
```
On Python2.7, the unknown codepoints are not unescaped correctly,
resulting in arbitrary out-of-range characters being matched by the
expression.
This problem does not occur if we instead have a range between two
unicode literals, rather than the escape sequences. To fix the bug, we
therefore add a new compat function that unescapes unicode sequences
using the `ast.literal_eval()` function. Care is taken to ensure we
do not also escape non-unicode sequences.
Closes#3356.

This patch improves tokenizer speed by about 10%, and reduces memory usage in the `Vocab` by removing a redundant index. The `vocab._by_orth` and `vocab._by_hash` indexed on different data in v1, but in v2 the orth and the hash are identical.
The patch also fixes an uninitialized variable in the tokenizer, the `has_special` flag. This checks whether a chunk we're tokenizing triggers a special-case rule. If it does, then we avoid caching within the chunk. This check led to incorrectly rejecting some chunks from the cache.
With the `en_core_web_md` model, we now tokenize the IMDB train data at 503,104k words per second. Prior to this patch, we had 465,764k words per second.
Before switching to the regex library and supporting more languages, we had 1.3m words per second for the tokenizer. In order to recover the missing speed, we need to:
* Fix the variable-length lookarounds in the suffix, infix and `token_match` rules
* Improve the performance of the `token_match` regex
* Switch back from the `regex` library to the `re` library.

* Add spacy.errors module
* Update deprecation and user warnings
* Replace errors and asserts with new error message system
* Remove redundant asserts
* Fix whitespace
* Add messages for print/util.prints statements
* Fix typo
* Fix typos
* Move CLI messages to spacy.cli._messages
* Add decorator to display error code with message
An implementation like this is nice because it only modifies the string when it's retrieved from the containing class – so we don't have to worry about manipulating tracebacks etc.
* Remove unused link in spacy.about
* Update errors for invalid pipeline components
* Improve error for unknown factories
* Add displaCy warnings
* Update formatting consistency
* Move error message to spacy.errors
* Update errors and check if doc returned by component is None
