Is there any reason why the PorterStemmer can't be made public? I know several people have submitted this patch, both separately and as part of other patches. I, for one, am using it in other places as part of my overall search solution and I bet others are as well. I guess I could understand if all stemmers were that way, but the GermanStemmer is publicly available, so it doesn't seem to be consistent.

Just wondering...

I think we can make it public. But an alternative is to use the snowball code in the sandbox, which has a public PorterStemmer.
