    my $maf = Lingua::MAF->new(
	author   => 'me',
	language => 'english',
	format   => {
	    reduced  => 1,
	    compact  => 1,
	}
    );

    $maf->add_token(
	id      => 't1',
	content => 'content1',
	pleft   => 0,
	pright  => 6
    );
    $maf->add_word_form(
	source => 0,
	target => 1,
	tokens => [ 't1' ]
	form   => 'form1',
	entry  => 'entry1',
	tag    => 'tag1'
    );
    $maf->add_word_form(
	source => 1,
	target => 2,
	tokens => [ 't1' ]
	form   => 'form2',
	entry  => 'entry2',
	tag    => 'tag2'
