Add suggestion choice method

[mdevolde]

Sometimes LanguageTool gives several suggestions. In the case below, for this sentence in which I made a typo in the word ‘book’, I end up with a ton of suggestions. The correct suggestion is the third one.

import language_tool_python

def patch_text(text):
    with language_tool_python.LanguageTool('en-US') as tool:
        errors = tool.check(text)
    patched_text = language_tool_python.utils.correct(text, errors)
    return patched_text


if __name__ == '__main__':
    text = """
There is a bok on the table.
    """
    print(patch_text(text))

[Match({'ruleId': 'MORFOLOGIK_RULE_EN_US', 'message': 'Possible spelling mistake found.', 'replacements': ['BOK', 'OK', 'book', 'box', ...], 'offsetInContext': 12, 'context': ' There is a bok on the table.     ', 'offset': 12, 'errorLength': 3, 'category': 'TYPOS', 'ruleIssueType': 'misspelling', 'sentence': 'There is a bok on the table.'})]

By default, correct applies the first suggestion on the list. So I end up with this sentence: There is a BOK on the table.

With my update, you can now choose a suggestion for each Match, and then change the Match list to correct func:

import language_tool_python

def patch_text(text):
    with language_tool_python.LanguageTool('en-US') as tool:
        matches = tool.check(text)
    for match in matches:
        if not match.replacements:
            continue
        print(match)
        index = input("Enter the index of the suggestion you want to apply: ")
        match.select_replacement(int(index)) # new method
    patched_text = language_tool_python.utils.correct(text, matches)
    return patched_text


if __name__ == '__main__':
    text = """
There is a bok on the table.
    """
    print(patch_text(text))

So I can end up with the sentence I want: There is a book on the table.

This is a simple example, but in my case, when I'm doing interactive correction of large texts with this library, I end up having to modify the Matches myself, rather than using a method implemented in the library.
