An implementation like this is nice because it only modifies the string when it's retrieved from the containing class – so we don't have to worry about manipulating tracebacks etc.

The TextCategorizer class is supposed to support multi-label
text classification, and allow training data to contain missing
values.
For this to work, the gradient of the loss should be 0 when labels
are missing. Instead, there was no way to actually denote "missing"
in the GoldParse class, and so the TextCategorizer class treated
the label set within gold.cats as complete.
To fix this, we change GoldParse.cats to be a dict instead of a list.
The GoldParse.cats dict should map to floats, with 1. denoting
'present' and 0. denoting 'absent'. Gradients are zeroed for categories
absent from the gold.cats dict. A nice bonus is that you can also set
values between 0 and 1 for partial membership. You can also set numeric
values, if you're using a text classification model that uses an
appropriate loss function.
Unfortunately this is a breaking change; although the functionality
was only recently introduced and hasn't been properly documented
yet. I've updated the example script accordingly.
