//! Lancaster stemmer implementation
//!
//! This module provides an implementation of the Lancaster stemming algorithm,
//! also known as Paice/Husk stemmer.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! The Lancaster stemmer is a rule-based stemming algorithm developed by Chris Paice
//! with the collaboration of Gerry Husk. It's characterized by:
//!
//! - Being more aggressive than Porter and Snowball stemmers
//! - Using an iterative approach with rule-based transformations
//! - Offering higher performance than other stemmers
//! - Providing configurability for acceptable word checks and minimum stem length
//!
//! # Algorithm
//!
//! The Lancaster stemmer works by:
//!
//! 1. Checking if the word is acceptable for stemming (configurable)
//! 2. Looking for a matching rule for the word's ending
//! 3. Applying the rule if matched (remove/replace suffix)
//! 4. Depending on the rule code, either stopping or continuing with more rules
//! 5. Ensuring the resulting stem meets minimum length requirements
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```
//! use scirs2_text::{LancasterStemmer, Stemmer};
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! // Create a Lancaster stemmer with default settings
//! let stemmer = LancasterStemmer::new();
//!
//! // Stem some words
//! assert_eq!(stemmer.stem("multiply")?, "multipl");
//! assert_eq!(stemmer.stem("fishing")?, "fishing");
//!
//! // Create a customized Lancaster stemmer
//! let custom_stemmer = LancasterStemmer::new()
//!     .with_min_stemmed_length(3)      // Ensure stems are at least 3 characters
//!     .with_acceptable_check(false);   // Process all words regardless of length
//!
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Performance
//!
//! The Lancaster stemmer is typically faster than both Porter and Snowball stemmers
//! while producing more aggressive stemming results.
