Description Ryosuke Niwa 2013-09-03 17:11:19 PDT 
Right now, we expand the range slowly to include more context as requested by ICU to find word boundaries.
This strategy is broken for many languages that rely on dictionary look up to find word boundaries.

We should rewrite it to always give the whole paragraph.
