Quick response to a couple of things.

1. Xapian::Cluster should be a cluster of documents; that's what I
(and I suspect most people) would expect it to be.

2. So your clustering implementation needs a different name. I don't
have a good one (Clusterer is a bit odd, ClusterAlgorithm is a little
too abstract).

3. ClusterSet sounds fine to me; that the thing that the Clusterer
will return.

You can just put some sort of document iterator on the Cluster.

We already knew about them, so that's really fine. Exams are important!
