Describe the solution you'd like

The library can recognize similar sentences even if they use synonyms (or even negated antonyms)
Maybe the library can paraphrase a sentence too

Describe alternatives you've considered
Load lists of synonyms that are available in GH (like word-net)

In fact I think that is a good idea, but with some premises:

Should be an option for the developer to choose if he wants to use synonyms or not
This option should be able to be activated/deactivated per language, so the developer can choose languages with synonyms and languages without synonyms
Synonym lists must be stemmed, so if a verb is synonym of another one, all the possible forms (past, past tense, future...) are also synonyms.

In fact in chinese we are already using a synonym list because it was the only way we found to work with characters in traditional and simplified.
