Single quote syntax

[wolfgang42]

Has been changed in spec, but also the original implementation probably wasn't right anyway.

Relevant bit of the spec:

1. The sequence 's\W+ - a single quote followed by a lowercase 's' and one or more whitespace characters - should be replaced with is (space, is, space)

• This allows Janie's got a gun (initialises Janie with the value 313) and Union's been on strike (initialise Union with the value 426) as valid variable declarations.

2. All other single quotes are then ignored. ain't is equivalent to aint, wakin' has five letters, and ''''' is equal to the empty string. This means you can use single quotes freely throughout your program to punctuate, adjust word lengths and generally channel the spirit of rock'n'roll without worrying about compiler errors.

Currently awaiting clarification on this as it's not clear to me how some edge cases are supposed to work: https://github.com/dylanbeattie/rockstar/issues/45#issuecomment-407917446

I changed rockstar-py to match the new specs, but you're right. Jane is Mark's girlfriend is converting Mark's to Mark is, adding 1 to the number value. I can solve that pretty quickly tomorrow, but that's not clearly specified

I think it'd be better if 's could only be converted to is if it's on the first word of the sentence. It'd be much much easier

First word only wouldn't work as expected for multi-word proper variables.
