Description
Hi! Love this library, I use it extensively for language processing in Python!
I noticed today that there's a certain class in pattern/text/tree.py -- the "non-chunk" class, which shows up when chunked() is called -- that has a name that overlaps with a racist slur.
I think it would be a good idea to rename this -- seeing it really took me aback.

Start in pattern/text/tree.py and inspect the class described as the "non-chunk" class, then trace where chunked() exposes or uses it. Rename the class to a non-offensive name and update the references so chunked() continues to work consistently.
