    // Get context information from nth word before the cursor. n = 1 retrieves the words
    // immediately before the cursor, n = 2 retrieves the words before that, and so on. This splits
    // on whitespace only.
    // Also, it won't return words that end in a separator (if the nth word before the cursor
    // ends in a separator, it returns information representing beginning-of-sentence).
    // Example (when Constants.MAX_PREV_WORD_COUNT_FOR_N_GRAM is 2):
    // (n = 1) "abc def|" -> abc, def
    // (n = 1) "abc def |" -> abc, def
    // (n = 1) "abc 'def|" -> empty, 'def
    // (n = 1) "abc def. |" -> beginning-of-sentence

    // (n = 2) "abc def|" -> beginning-of-sentence, abc
    // (n = 2) "abc def |" -> beginning-of-sentence, abc
    // (n = 2) "abc 'def|" -> empty. The context is different from "abc def", but we cannot
    // represent this situation using NgramContext. See TODO in the method.
    // TODO: The next example's result should be "abc, def". This have to be fixed before we
    // retrieve the prior context of Beginning-of-Sentence.
