What is ::QueryParser? The name would suggest it takes strings (say of
the form 'hotel AND (beach OR "swimming pool")' and converts them into
::Query objects. Is this correct (I can't see any reference to the class
in the API docs)?

I'm doing a fair amount of hacking on the Perl bindings atm, and it
occurs to me that this would be a useful feature, even if I have to do
it in the perl wrapper. IIrc, the python bindings do something similar -
do they just use ::QueryParser under the hood?
