bug: pythainlp.util.maiyamok does not duplicate words when more than one Maiyamok is used

[tchayintr]

Description

Hello.

I am not sure whether maiyamok matches the maintainer's intention.

Although using more than one Maiyamok may be inappropriate in formal writing, should it still align with the function of Maiyamok by resulting in the duplication of the word according to the number of Maiyamok?

Then leave post-processing (or pre-processing) to developers.

Expected results

['เด็ก', 'เด็ก', 'เด็ก', 'ชอบ', 'ไป', 'โรงเรียน']

Current results

['เด็ก', '', '', 'ชอบ', 'ไป', 'โรงเรียน']

Steps to reproduce

from pythainlp.util import maiyamok
maiyamok("เด็กๆๆชอบไปโรงเรียน")
>>> ['เด็ก', '', '', 'ชอบ', 'ไป', 'โรงเรียน']

PyThaiNLP version

Thanks. I agree. It should repeat the word as many as the number of maiyamok.
