ExtPos: external POS
This feature indicates, for the head of a fixed expression or idioms,
the effective UPOS of the full expression when it differs from the UPOS of the word itself.
Occasionally, ExtPos is used even if ExtPos = upos.
It is also used to account for polyfunctionality, such as basic ADP functioning as ADV, SCONJ or CCONJ.
ExtPos is used in the SUD framework.
It is kept in FEATS in the UD conversion.
