Hi

 Scikit-learn CountVectorizer for bag-of-words approach currently gives two 
sub-options: (a) use a custom vocabulary (b) if custom vocabulary is 
unavailable, then it makes a vocabulary based on all the words present in the 
corpus.

My question: Can we specify a custom vocabulary to begin with, but ensure that 
it gets updated when new words are seen while processing the corpus. I am 
assuming this is doable since the matrix is stored via a sparse representation.

Usefulness: It will help in cases when one has to add additional documents to 
the training data, and one should not have to start from the beginning. Esp 
when the number of documents is large.
