ah, i didn't know the mert-moses.pl script writes to the ini file with the
values from --decoder-flags.
I'm not gonna change mert-moses as it's likely break it.
I could change how the decoder -feature-overwrite works. At the moment,
it's
-feature-overwrite 'TranslationModel0 table-limit=100'
I can change it to
-feature-overwrite TranslationModel0 table-limit 100
i.e. don't have quotes or the equal sign.
This should work with mert-moses.pl. It will take some testing
