Improve StandardTokenizer's understanding of non ASCII punctuation and quotes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2244
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2244
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Analysis
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Andi Vajda


In the vein of LUCENE-1126 and LUCENE-1390, StandardTokenizerImpl.jflex should 
do a better job at understanding non-ASCII punctuation characters.

For example, its understanding of the single-quote character "'" is currently 
limited to that character only. It will set a token's type to APOSTROPHE only 
if the "'" was used.
In the patch attached, I added all the characters that ASCIIFoldingFilter would 
change into "'".

I'm not sure that this is the right approach so I didn't write a complete patch 
for all the other hardcoded characters used in jflex rules such as ".", "-" 
which have some variants in ASCIIFoldingFilter that could be used as well.

Maybe a better approach would be to make it possible to have an 
ASCIIFoldingFilter-like reader as a character filter that could be in inserted 
in front of StandardTokenizer ?
