Thanks for the quick reply! You got to it even faster than I thought
you would.

I have one more question and then I'll quit bugging you and start
being productive: Is there any high-level documentation or any kind of
searchable javadocs? For example, as of right now I don't know a good
way to find the system's query parser, except just digging through all
the classes until I see something "query parser"-ish. I saw that there
were SOME javadocs, but they looked more like end-user javadocs (JDBC
APIs, Tools APIs, etc).

Thanks again for your help.
