No, I mean: StringSearchers are a functionality that can be completely 
independent of Gzz, and therefore should. If someone needs a string 
searching functionality in Java and likes the heuristics of ours, they 
should be able to take it & use it. I think the current interface (which 
doesn't know about gzz.*) is very nice for that reason.

Incrementally isn't "as it is" ;-)
