I consciously decided when writing it not to do the invalid consonant
pair detection because (I was lazy and) I figured it would be better
to be more permissible and give what might be the intended gismu
rather than not giving anything.

On the other hand, it still thinks that some fu'ivla (e.g. "fiprmako")
are lujvo (fip + rmako), because it doesn't look for consonant
triples. And I should look into that. Also, if it ever detects a cmavo
group as a lujvo, please report it, and I'll see if I can't fix it.

Known bugs: the only kinds of groups (series of words with elided
spaces) that it parses are cmavo groups. Cmavo+gismu or cmavo+lujvo
don't work. (These are very uncommon anyway, and usually a typo,
though they're valid Lojban AFAIK. Aren't all spaces in Lojban
technically optional?)
