	/** Pick the best N subqueries and combine with OP_OR.
	 *
	 *  If you want to implement a feature which finds documents similar to
	 *  a piece of text, an obvious approach is to build an "OR" query from
	 *  all the terms in the text, and run this query against a database
	 *  containing the documents.  However such a query can contain a lots
	 *  of terms and be quite slow to perform, yet many of these terms
	 *  don't contribute usefully to the results.
	 *
	 *  The OP_ELITE_SET operator can be used instead of OP_OR in this
	 *  situation.  OP_ELITE_SET selects the most important ''N'' terms and
	 *  then acts as an OP_OR query with just these, ignoring any other
	 *  terms.  This will usually return results just as good as the full
	 *  OP_OR query, but much faster.
	 *
	 *  In general, the OP_ELITE_SET operator can be used when you have a
	 *  large OR query, but it doesn't matter if the search completely
	 *  ignores some of the less important terms in the query.
	 *
	 *  The subqueries don't have to be terms, but if they aren't then
	 *  OP_ELITE_SET will look at the estimated frequencies of the
	 *  subqueries and so could pick a subset which don't actually
	 *  match any documents even if the full OR would match some.
	 *
	 *  You can specify a parameter to the query constructor which control
	 *  the number of terms which OP_ELITE_SET will pick.  If not
	 *  specified, this defaults to 10 (Xapian used to default to
	 *  <code>ceil(sqrt(number_of_subqueries))</code> if there are more
	 *  than 100 subqueries, but this rather arbitrary special case was
	 *  dropped in 1.3.0).  For example, this will pick the best 7 terms:
	 *
	 *  <pre>
	 *  Xapian::Query query(Xapian::Query::OP_ELITE_SET, subqs.begin(), subqs.end(), 7);
	 *  </pre>
	 *
	 * If the number of subqueries is less than this threshold,
	 * OP_ELITE_SET behaves identically to OP_OR.
