Comment(by richard):

 I just mentioned that changing reset to init would involve chasing down a
 few references as a "tie-breaker" for the decision.  On reflection,
 though, I think that init is indeed a clearer name.

 For posting sources, if they don't implement clone(), re-using a posting
 source will result in init() being called twice.  This should be fine, but
 we should mention in the documentation for the PostingSource::init()
 method that this is a possibility, and that implementations should cope
 with it.
