This function generates the lexemes, so cannot be used directly, but
it is probably a good starting point.

It seems that Sushant already wants to implement this function. He

Since I mainly rely on whatever a web hosting company provides, I'll
probably stick with a Python implementation outside the SQL query.

Thanks for your answers.
