Hi,

Word number is used only in ranking functions. If you don't need a

Huh? I explicitly *want* positional information. But I find the word
number to be less useful than a character number or a simple (byte)
pointer to the position of the word in the string.
Given only the word number, I have to go and parse the string again.
