Robert Muir resolved LUCENE-3359.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

in bytes, the average length of a chinese word exceeds even english because cjk 
ideographs are encoded as multibyte sequences in utf8. so front coding is very 
helpful.

> Average length of a word in the English language is 5.1 , so Front Encoding
