+ * Component for searching the training data for occurrences of source phrases
+ * containing nonterminals
+ *
+ * Given a source phrase containing a nonterminal, we first query the
+ * precomputed index containing frequent collocations. If the phrase is not
+ * frequent enough, we extend the matchings of either its prefix or its suffix,
+ * depending on which operation seems to require less computations.
+ *
+ * Note: This method for intersecting phrase locations is faster than both
+ * mergers (linear or Baeza Yates) described in Adam Lopez' dissertation.
