Thanks [~steve_rowe], I'll have a look, but likely not until I'm back from
vacation next year ...

> I created a new SynonymGraphFilter (to replace the current buggy
> SynonymFilter), that produces correct graphs (does no "graph
> flattening" itself). I think this makes it simpler.
> This means you must add the FlattenGraphFilter yourself, if you are
> applying synonyms during indexing.
> Index-time syn expansion is a necessarily "lossy" graph transformation
> when multi-token (input or output) synonyms are applied, because the
> index does not store {{posLength}}, so there will always be phrase
> queries that should match but do not, and then phrase queries that
> should not match but do.
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2012/04/lucenes-tokenstreams-are-actually.html
> goes into detail about this.
> However, with this new SynonymGraphFilter, if instead you do synonym
> expansion at query time (and don't do the flattening), and you use
> TermAutomatonQuery (future: somehow integrated into a query parser),
> or maybe just "enumerate all paths and make union of PhraseQuery", you
> should get 100% correct matches (not sure about "proper" scoring
> though...).
> This new syn filter still cannot consume an arbitrary graph.
