`kuromoji_readingform` token filter

The kuromoji_readingform token filter replaces the token with its reading form in either katakana or romaji. It accepts the following setting:

use_romaji: Whether romaji reading form should be output instead of katakana. Defaults to false.

When using the pre-defined kuromoji_readingform filter, use_romaji is set to true. The default when defining a custom kuromoji_readingform, however, is false. The only reason to use the custom form is if you need the katakana reading form:
