/**
 * This class will generate an array of morphological variants of a word
 * to use in search-and-retrieval applications where a user wants to find 
 * other words morphologically related to words in a query.  For example, 
 * a request such as "electrical fixtures" should also retrieve "electric
 * fixtures," "electrical fixture," etc.  Given a word of a query, these 
 * rules generate alternative variations of that word that should also be 
 * considered.  This generation of variant forms of a word fills a role 
 * similar to that often filled by the use of wild card characters or by 
 * stemming rules that produce truncated stems in traditional information
 * retrieval systems.  The approach of generating alternative variations
 * has advantages over a truncated stemming approach for many applications,
 * because it does not require stemming operations during the indexing
 * process, does not require extra indexing space for stems, nor does it
 * lose information by storing only stems.  Rather, the variation rules
 * are applied to the query to produce additional forms to check against
 * the index.
 * <p>
 * Compared to the use of wild card characters, this approach has two 
 * advantages: first, it does not require the user to think about where 
 * the wild cards should be placed, and secondly, it deals with irregular
 * variations such as irregular verbs (e.g., "break," "broke," "broken"),
 * and with stem ending effects such as silent e's and doubling of final 
 * consonants (e.g., "dig," "digs," "digging").  The rules presented here, 
 * together with a table of exceptions, provided at the end, deal with 
 * a wide range of such effects, without requiring any more attention on 
 * the part of the user than to turn on the facility.
 * <p>
 * These rules generate regular morphological variants of words using the 
 * suffixes s, er, ers, est, ed, ing, ly, ful, less, ness, and ment.  Rules 
 * are included for dealing with some words ending in -ize, -ise, -ic and 
 * -ical, and for some words requiring irregular forms, such as -leaf and
 * -man compounds (flyleaf, footman), and Latin words ending in -um and -a, 
 * such as datum.  The rules are supplemented by a list of exceptions for
 * words that do not inflect regularly.  They are not intended to apply to
 * function words or to proper names.  When expanding queries, you may not
 * want to apply them to capitalized words or to hyphenated words like
 * day-to-day and low-level.
 * <p>
 * The rules treat almost all words as if they were multiply meaningful
 * as nouns, verbs, and adjectives.  Hence, the rules will often generate
 * spurious forms that should never occur in a text -- e.g., fix ->
 * fixest, happy -> happied.  The rules are suitable for applications
 * such as searching text using inverted files, where a quick test
 * suffices to determine that a given candidate does not occur in the
 * corpus.  In such applications, it is preferable to overgenerate
 * candidates than to miss possible retrievals.
 * <p>
 * The program uses rules developed by W. A. Woods and Ellen Hays in 1992.
 * An original C program for using them was developed by Jacek Ambroziak
 * and was included in Sun's SearchIt product.
