Same patient names anonymize differently when formatted differently

I had a study with multiple DICOM files. In some of the files the patient name was like 'LAST^FIRST^MIDDLE' and in others 'LAST^FIRST^MIDDLE^'. These are obviously the same patient name, but because of the trailing '^' dicognito assumed they were different and anonymized them differently.

Thanks for submitting this, @paulsbduncan! What would you expect the output to be,
- 'ANONLAST^ANONFIRST^ANONMIDDLE' twice, or
- 'ANONLAST^ANONFIRST^ANONMIDDLE' and 'ANONLAST^ANONFIRST^ANONMIDDLE^'?
Paul Duncan commented
Good question! From my perspective (and current use case), either would be
fine.

Now that I'm thinking about it, we don't pay any attention to the original format anyhow. so I think you're going to get the first one!
