Remarks

Dick is a commonly used nickname for Richard, and the terms should be considered to be equivalent. This can be accomplished by loading a thesaurus in which these two terms share an equivalence class. In general, all terms which are synonyms but are not typographically similar should be included in a thesaurus. If a term is included in two equivalence classes, it is considered to be a synonym for all terms in both classes. However, each term in the first class is not considered to be a synonym of each term in the second class. For instance, although duck might be a synonym for bird and crouch, bird and crouch are not considered synonyms.

This constructor creates an empty thesaurus, one with no equivalence classes. Classes must be added using the addClassesFrom or addEquivalenceClass methods.
