Support for Cyrillic Slavic languages? #37

Would it be possible to adjust the tokenization to accommodate Cyrillic Slavic languages (e.g. Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian) that are supported by NRC? I understand the challenges with handling tokenization more broadly, and can't vouch for how it would work with some of the other non-Latin alphabets, but I think adding in the Cyrillic Unicode ranges to the current whitespace-oriented code should work okay. Thank you!

This is a heavier lift (especially since I have no experience with tokenizing Cyrillic Slavic languages), so probably not something I will be able to get to anytime soon. Suyzhet already could use better English sentence and word tokenizers, so it would make sense to rebuild the get_sentences and get_tokens functions to take a "language" argument that would then call an appropriate tokenizer. (If this is in your wheelhouse, please feel free to fork and contribute:-)
