** four values:
**
** <ul><li> <b>FTS5_TOKENIZE_DOCUMENT</b> - A document is being inserted into
** or removed from the FTS table. The tokenizer is being invoked to
** determine the set of tokens to add to (or delete from) the
** FTS index.
**
** <li> <b>FTS5_TOKENIZE_QUERY</b> - A MATCH query is being executed
** against the FTS index. The tokenizer is being called to tokenize
** a bareword or quoted string specified as part of the query.
**
** <li> <b>(FTS5_TOKENIZE_QUERY | FTS5_TOKENIZE_PREFIX)</b> - Same as
** FTS5_TOKENIZE_QUERY, except that the bareword or quoted string is
** followed by a "*" character, indicating that the last token
** returned by the tokenizer will be treated as a token prefix.
**
** <li> <b>FTS5_TOKENIZE_AUX</b> - The tokenizer is being invoked to
** satisfy an fts5_api.xTokenize() request made by an auxiliary
** function. Or an fts5_api.xColumnSize() request made by the same
** on a columnsize=0 database.

** For each token in the input string, the supplied callback xToken() must
** be invoked. The first argument to it should be a copy of the pointer

** the token in bytes. The 4th and 5th arguments are the byte offsets of

** which the token is derived within the input.
**
** The second argument passed to the xToken() callback ("tflags") should
** normally be set to 0. The exception is if the tokenizer supports

**
** SYNONYM SUPPORT
**
** Custom tokenizers may also support synonyms. Consider a case in which a
** user wishes to query for a phrase such as "first place". Using the
** built-in tokenizers, the FTS5 query 'first + place' will match instances
** of "first place" within the document set, but not alternative forms
** such as "1st place". In some applications, it would be better to match
** all instances of "first place" or "1st place" regardless of which form
** the user specified in the MATCH query text.
**
** There are several ways to approach this in FTS5:
**
** <ol><li> By mapping all synonyms to a single token. In this case, the
** In the above example, this means that the tokenizer returns the
** same token for inputs "first" and "1st". Say that token is in
** fact "first", so that when the user inserts the document "I won
** 1st place" entries are added to the index for tokens "i", "won",
** "first" and "place". If the user then queries for '1st + place',
** the tokenizer substitutes "first" for "1st" and the query works
** as expected.
**
** <li> By adding multiple synonyms for a single term to the FTS index.
** In this case, when tokenizing query text, the tokenizer may
** provide multiple synonyms for a single term within the document.
** FTS5 then queries the index for each synonym individually. For
** example, faced with the query:
**
** <codeblock>
** ... MATCH 'first place'</codeblock>
**
** the tokenizer offers both "1st" and "first" as synonyms for the
** first token in the MATCH query and FTS5 effectively runs a query
** similar to:
**
** <codeblock>
** ... MATCH '(first OR 1st) place'</codeblock>
**
** except that, for the purposes of auxiliary functions, the query
** still appears to contain just two phrases - "(first OR 1st)"
** being treated as a single phrase.
**
** <li> By adding multiple synonyms for a single term to the FTS index.
** Using this method, when tokenizing document text, the tokenizer
** provides multiple synonyms for each token. So that when a
** document such as "I won first place" is tokenized, entries are
** added to the FTS index for "i", "won", "first", "1st" and
** "place".
**
** This way, even if the tokenizer does not provide synonyms
** when tokenizing query text (it should not - to do would be
** inefficient), it doesn't matter if the user queries for
** 'first + place' or '1st + place', as there are entires in the
** FTS index corresponding to both forms of the first token.
** </ol>
**
** Whether is is parsing document or query text, any call to xToken that
** specifies a <i>tflags</i> argument with the FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED bit
** is considered to supply a synonym for the previous token. For example,
** when parsing the document "I won first place", a tokenizer that supports
** synonyms would call xToken() 5 times, as follows:
**
** <codeblock>
** xToken(pCtx, 0, "i", 1, 0, 1);
** xToken(pCtx, 0, "won", 3, 2, 5);
** xToken(pCtx, 0, "first", 5, 6, 11);
** xToken(pCtx, FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED, "1st", 3, 6, 11);
** xToken(pCtx, 0, "place", 5, 12, 17);
**</codeblock>
**
** It is an error to specify the FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED flag the first time
** xToken() is called. Multiple synonyms may be specified for a single token
** by making multiple calls to xToken(FTS5_TOKEN_COLOCATED) in sequence.
** There is no limit to the number of synonyms that may be provided for a
** single token.
**
** In many cases, method (1) above is the best approach. It does not add
** extra data to the FTS index or require FTS5 to query for multiple terms,
** so it is efficient in terms of disk space and query speed. However, it
** does not support prefix queries very well. If, as suggested above, the
** token "first" is subsituted for "1st" by the tokenizer, then the query:
**
** <codeblock>
** ... MATCH '1s*'</codeblock>
**
** will not match documents that contain the token "1st" (as the tokenizer
** will probably not map "1s" to any prefix of "first").
**
** For full prefix support, method (3) may be preferred. In this case,
** because the index contains entries for both "first" and "1st", prefix
** queries such as 'fi*' or '1s*' will match correctly. However, because
** extra entries are added to the FTS index, this method uses more space
** within the database.
**
** Method (2) offers a midpoint between (1) and (3). Using this method,
** a query such as '1s*' will match documents that contain the literal
** token "1st", but not "first" (assuming the tokenizer is not able to
** provide synonyms for prefixes). However, a non-prefix query like '1st'
** will match against "1st" and "first". This method does not require
** extra disk space, as no extra entries are added to the FTS index.
** On the other hand, it may require more CPU cycles to run MATCH queries,
** as separate queries of the FTS index are required for each synonym.
**
** When using methods (2) or (3), it is important that the tokenizer only
** provide synonyms when tokenizing document text (method (2)) or query
** text (method (3)), not both. Doing so will not cause any errors, but is
** inefficient.
