[developers] Getting MRS elementary triples from batch parsing?

Yes, these are the output from parsing source, target and partial
transfer respectively.

We were wondering if there were some way to overload another field in
result (maybe surface, which we don't use here) and directly write the
triples to it (thus avoiding another round of processing).
