**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/sodascience/metasyn/compare/v0.6.0...v0.7.0

`MetaSynth` is now renamed to `metasyn`

The reason for the rename is that there is a software package called MetaSynth. Although we are doing very different things, the package will be easier to find if we rename the package.

- Imports are now `metasyn` instead of `metasynth`.
- All documentation should be updated.
- Plugins should now use `metasyncontrib` instead of `metasynthcontrib`.
- Capitalization is now also changed to lower case, unless it starts the sentence.

Summary

* RegexDistribution has changed considerably with no backward compatibility. For now, the old regex distribution is still available.
* Big improvements in documentation thanks to Samuwhale.
* Add a command line interface.
