Add SNOMED code #23

Description

Is it possible to incorporate SNOMED CT codes with this package? This is the main system used in the NHS.

First you need to check licenses

I've looked into Snomed as other people in the NHS have mentioned it, but was unsure if it's allowed by the license.

They have a download page but we need to go through and work out if this project could include Snomed without breaching anything or needing to pay. Maybe Snomed could not be shipped in the library but would need to be manually downloaded by the user, since you need a password to download Snomed.

So we need to do some due diligence into what's allowed, rather than any technical obstacle.
Can we find any other open source software using Snomed?

Rationale

This is useful for applications around coding EHR and visualising EHR data.
