I have to be honest. While this is obviously a smart and useful idea, it misses one of the core features of Jev: its confidence scores. Partial confidence could easily be mapped to fractional spaces, using unicode characters like U+2009: THIN SPACE. As it stands, this package is not harnessing the full power of Jev.

> its confidence scores

important to note that the "confidence" score is... maybe not what people think it is - kind of useless, and just a convenience step from the probabilities.

from the docs: "confidence is a statistic computed from the probability distribution the answer already gives you." [0] I actually encourage people to visit the docs because it has a specific page on this with a little applet to really make this clear.
