It uses a method on the QueryParser, unstem_begin(), which gives a
TermIterator over unstemmed terms *in the query* of the stemmed term
supplied. See
<http://xapian.org/docs/apidoc/html/classXapian_1_1QueryParser.html#bed4668a2ed42741c3c0cfc7eb7db2d8>,
and the ``pretty_term()`` method in Omega's query.cc .
