 You can now use 64-bit docid (and termcount), so marking #385 fixed seems
 appropriate.

 But we ought to add testcases that this works for each of the bindings -
 it's not something that necessarily will automatically.

 I wrote a simple testcase for PHP (patch attached), which passes with 64
 bit docid (promising) but fails with 32 bit docid (as the C++ version
 does).  I don't see any easy way to determine the type widths from the
 bindings as things are though, which makes adding tests problematic.

 The failure mode isn't good either - you just get the docid quietly
 wrapping.  If we fix that for C++ then the testcases could at least check
 for it working or giving that exception.  Or perhaps we expose the
 information about type widths through the bindings.
