I didn't realize things had changed so much at 1.0.  Thanks.

The next question is, once I have found a document that has been stemmed 
and I hit on a stem, can I generate the terms that were stemmed?  In 
other words, some where there is a function (explicit or implicit) that 
gives the index "want" if I pass it "wants" or "wanted" or "wanting", 
etc.  So is there a reverse function I can call or use?

I'm working on a highlighting demo for the wiki and want to be able to 
highlight words in the document that match the unstemmed forms of the 
terms I'm getting back.

Thanks,
Jim.
