// This file contains the infrastructure to create an
// identifier and full-text index for a set of Go files.
//
// Algorithm for identifier index:
// - traverse all .go files of the file tree specified by root
// - for each identifier (word) encountered, collect all occurrences (spots)
//   into a list; this produces a list of spots for each word
// - reduce the lists: from a list of spots to a list of FileRuns,
//   and from a list of FileRuns into a list of PakRuns
// - make a HitList from the PakRuns
//
// Details:
// - keep two lists per word: one containing package-level declarations
//   that have snippets, and one containing all other spots
// - keep the snippets in a separate table indexed by snippet index
//   and store the snippet index in place of the line number in a SpotInfo
//   (the line number for spots with snippets is stored in the snippet)
// - at the end, create lists of alternative spellings for a given
//   word
//
// Algorithm for full text index:
// - concatenate all source code in a byte buffer (in memory)
// - add the files to a file set in lockstep as they are added to the byte
//   buffer such that a byte buffer offset corresponds to the Pos value for
//   that file location
// - create a suffix array from the concatenated sources
//
// String lookup in full text index:
// - use the suffix array to lookup a string's offsets - the offsets
//   correspond to the Pos values relative to the file set
// - translate the Pos values back into file and line information and
//   sort the result
