-----------------------------------------
Returning to this issue, right now the best place for this functionality seems to be a variant of CharTermAttribute?

> In lucene-1793, there is the off-topic suggestion to provide compression of Unicode data. The motivation was a custom encoding in a Russian analyzer. The original supposition was that it provided a more compact index.
> This led to the comment that a different or compressed encoding would be a generally useful feature.
> BOCU-1 was suggested as a possibility. This is a patented algorithm by IBM with an implementation in ICU. If Lucene provide it's own implementation a freely avIlable, royalty-free license would need to be obtained.
> SCSU is another Unicode compression algorithm that could be used.
> An advantage of these methods is that they work on the whole of Unicode. If that is not needed an encoding such as iso8859-1 (or whatever covers the input) could be used.
