I updated the pull request to make the current behavior optional (the
default being new behavior - treat them all as the character).
There's new function to get the name in util.py. It always removes any
extension starting with '(CON', but anything else can be ignored or
kept depending on the optional setting.

Sure.. but we're targetting english (for now), and my solution will
serve almost w=every screenplay out there. For the writer who chooses
to use KONT'D, well, he can choose to see the report with all
extensions removed (the default).
