You should be able to do skip_to("") on a TermIterator with no effect.
If it's the common case that first_term_name will be empty, then it's
probably worth checking for it to avoid the overhead of the no-op call:

    if (!first_term_name.empty())
	it.skip_to(first_term_name);

Not sure I follow why this makes a difference...
