/// Symbol index queries consist of specific requirements for the requested
/// symbol, such as high fuzzy matching score, scope, type etc. The lists of all
/// symbols matching some criteria (e.g. belonging to "clang::clangd::" scope)
/// are expressed in a form of Search Tokens which are stored in the inverted
/// index. Inverted index maps these tokens to the posting lists - sorted (by
/// symbol quality) sequences of symbol IDs matching the token, e.g. scope token
/// "clangd::clangd::" is mapped to the list of IDs of all symbols which are
/// declared in this namespace. Search queries are build from a set of
/// requirements which can be combined with each other forming the query trees.
/// The leafs of such trees are posting lists, and the nodes are operations on
/// these posting lists, e.g. intersection or union. Efficient processing of
/// these multi-level queries is handled by Iterators. Iterators advance through
/// all leaf posting lists producing the result of search query, which preserves
/// the sorted order of IDs. Having the resulting IDs sorted is important,
/// because it allows receiving a certain number of the most valuable items
/// (e.g. symbols with highest quality which was the sorting key in the first
/// place) without processing all items with requested properties (this might
/// not be computationally effective if search request is not very restrictive).
