Comment:

 I've pushed a change to Snowball to implement this:
 https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball/commit/664b9893ee16f4d5aa63f9898046f832976f98c4

 So far only ASCII apostrophe is handled (`'`) - we ought to handle Unicode
 apostrophe's too but that's a bit more fiddly because it's not in
 iso-8859-1 which Snowball upstream still supports.  For Xapian we only
 build UTF-8 stemmers so we could patch this in for now if necessary.
