Parse middle initials? #33

It would be helpful when trying to compare/match names using family and given that any middle initials are separated from the given.

Is it possible to add functionality to parse away middle initials separately?

It's certainly possible creating a separate token for middle initials, but it would probably add quite a few rew rules to the grammar. I think we originally decided that it would be much easier parsing the initials out of the given name in a second pass.
