mecab-python3 and python-mecab-ko conflict

[kulogix]

Update: On Mac (and Windows), the file system is case insensitive by default.
python-mecab-ko tries to install to mecab, and mecab-python3 to MeCab. If you're not on a case-sensitive file system, one install will overwrite/merge with the other.

On Mac, create a new case-sensitive volume and setup your virtual environment there:
Diskutils: + Volume, Name: Playground, Format: APFS (Case-sensitive)
Create a symbolic link in your home folder: ln -s /Volumes/Playground ~/playground

Once the python project are setup on a case-sensitive file system, then everything works (for European, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese). I also had mecab-ko installed:
brew install mecab-ko

It would be nice if these tips (case-sensitive volume, how to create on Mac, and need to install mecab vs mecab-ko) was added to the README / docs -- for those that don't want to rely on the Docker.
