=head1 NAME

KinoSearch::Analysis::Token - unit of text

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # private class - no public API

=head1 PRIVATE CLASS

You can't actually instantiate a Token object at the Perl level -- however,
you can affect individual Tokens within a TokenBatch by way of TokenBatch's
(experimental) API.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Token is the fundamental unit used by KinoSearch's Analyzer subclasses.  Each
Token has 4 attributes: text, start_offset, end_offset, and pos_inc (for
position increment).

The text of a token is a string.

A Token's start_offset and end_offset locate it within a larger text, even if
the Token's text attribute gets modified -- by stemming, for instance.  The
Token for "beating" in the text "beating a dead horse" begins life with a
start_offset of 0 and an end_offset of 7; after stemming, the text is "beat",
but the end_offset is still 7. 

The position increment, which defaults to 1, is a an advanced tool for
manipulating phrase matching.  Ordinarily, Tokens are assigned consecutive
position numbers: 0, 1, and 2 for "three blind mice".  However, if you set the
position increment for "blind" to, say, 1000, then the three tokens will end
up assigned to positions 0, 1, and 1001 -- and will no longer produce a phrase
match for the query '"three blind mice"'.
