/** A handle representing a document in a Xapian database.
 *
 *  The Document class fetches information from the database lazily.  Usually
 *  this behaviour isn't visible to users (except for the speed benefits), but
 *  if the document in the database is modified or deleted, then preexisting
 *  Document objects may return the old or new versions of data (or throw
 *  Xapian::DocNotFoundError in the case of deletion).
 *
 *  Since Database objects work on a snapshot of the database's state, the
 *  situation above can only happen with a WritableDatabase object, or if
 *  you call Database::reopen() on a Database object.
 *
 *  We recommend you avoid designs where this behaviour is an issue, but if
 *  you need a way to make a non-lazy version of a Document object, you can do
 *  this like so:
 *
 *      doc = Xapian::Document::unserialise(doc.serialise());
