=head1 NAME

KinoSearch::Index::TermEnum - scan through a list of Terms

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # abstract base class

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Conceptually, a TermEnum is a array of Term => TermInfo pairs, sorted
lexically by term field name, then term text.  The implementations in
KinoSearch solve the same problem that tied arrays solve: it is possible to
iterate through the array while loading as little as possible into memory.
