Comment(by olly):

 Some API thoughts:

 Double Metaphone and the Schinke stemmer both produce up to two forms, but
 the hunspell stemmer can apparently return more (at least from what was
 said in that thread).  Certainly allowing for an indefinite number would
 be most flexible.

 We probably want to return them as an ordered list rather than an
 unordered set in case the stems are ranked in some way (at least with
 Double Metaphone, one form is the "primary").
