/*!
The term dictionary main role is to associate the sorted [`Term`s](../struct.Term.html) to
a [`TermInfo`](../postings/struct.TermInfo.html) struct that contains some meta-information
about the term.
Internally, the term dictionary relies on the `fst` crate to store
a sorted mapping that associate each term to its rank in the lexicographical order.
For instance, in a dictionary containing the sorted terms "abba", "bjork", "blur" and "donovan",
the `TermOrdinal` are respectively `0`, `1`, `2`, and `3`.
For `u64`-terms, tantivy explicitely uses a `BigEndian` representation to ensure that the
lexicographical order matches the natural order of integers.
`i64`-terms are transformed to `u64` using a continuous mapping `val ⟶ val - i64::min_value()`
and then treated as a `u64`.
`f64`-terms are transformed to `u64` using a mapping that preserve order, and are then treated
as `u64`.
A second datastructure makes it possible to access a [`TermInfo`](../postings/struct.TermInfo.html).
