// Trigrams are attributes of the symbol unqualified name used to effectively
// extract symbols which can be fuzzy-matched given user query from the inverted
// index. To match query with the extracted set of trigrams Q, the set of
// generated trigrams T for identifier (unqualified symbol name) should contain
// all items of Q, i.e. Q ⊆ T.
//
// Trigram sets extracted from unqualified name and from query are different:
// the set of query trigrams only contains consecutive sequences of three
// characters (which is only a subset of all trigrams generated for an
// identifier).

/// First, given Identifier (unqualified symbol name) is segmented using
/// FuzzyMatch API and lowercased. After segmentation, the following technique
/// is applied for generating trigrams: for each letter or digit in the input
/// string the algorithms looks for the possible next and skip-1-next characters
/// which can be jumped to during fuzzy matching. Each combination of such three
/// characters is inserted into the result.
///
/// Trigrams can start at any character in the input. Then we can choose to move
/// to the next character, move to the start of the next segment, or skip over a
/// segment.
///
/// This also generates incomplete trigrams for short query scenarios:
/// * Empty trigram: "$$$".
/// * Unigram: the first character of the identifier.
/// * Bigrams: a 2-char prefix of the identifier and a bigram of the first two
/// HEAD characters (if they exist).
//
/// Note: the returned list of trigrams does not have duplicates, if any trigram
/// belongs to more than one class it is only inserted once.

/// Query is segmented using FuzzyMatch API and downcasted to lowercase. Then,

/// Matching segmentation) this returns a single trigram with the first
/// characters (up to 3) to perform prefix match.
