Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2265:
-------------------------------------

bq. Why can't you create UTF-8 Automaton from the get go?

Because high-level, users want automaton transitions to represent real characters 
(eg regular expressions, wildcards, etc) and do not much care about bytes!

So the utf-16 Automaton/RunAutomaton pair makes sense for the library...

But utf-32 is still easy to work with high-level (we just represent codepoint intervals instead of codeunit),
and utf-8 is faster for working with lucene.

> Currently, when enumerating terms, automaton must convert entire terms from flex's native utf-8 byte[] to char[] first, then step each char thru the state machine.
> we can make this more efficient, by allowing the state machine to run on byte[], so it can return true/false faster.
