Hello!

I'm trying to use a shingle filter with the following settings:

```
"my_shingle_filter" : {
    "type" : "shingle",
    "min_shingle_size" : "2",
    "max_shingle_size" : "5",
    "output_unigrams" : "true"
}

```

I have a synonym filter with these settings:

```
"street_synonym" : {
    "type" : "synonym",
    "synonyms_path" : "analysis/synonyms.txt"
},

```

These are used in a custom analyzer:

```
"my_shingle_analyzer" : {
    "type" : "custom",
    "stopwords" : "_english_",
    "filter" : [
        "lowercase",
        "my_shingle_filter",
        "street_synonym"
    ],
    "tokenizer" : "standard"
}

```

When I go to test the analyzer, the synonyms are working, but only for single tokens, not bigrams, trigrams, etc.

`110 5th Avenue` would get expanded to `110`, `110 5th`, `110 5th avenue`, `5th`, `Fifth`, `5th avenue`, `avenue`.

How can set this analyzer up so that I also end up with `110 Fifth` and `Fifth avenue`? Is this even possible? 5th -\> Fifth is in my synonyms file.
