I believe that is incorrect.  In particular, index_text() may cause
words to be added to the table of words used for spelling correction.

As we've tried to say before, relying on particular methods of the
Xapian API not performing IO, or performing long-running computations,
is going to be fragile, since that's not part of the API guarantees,
and may change between releases.
