What is a quoted-string-literal and why is it a candidate for an
index-base-name?

Where did sameSentence and sameParagraph come from?  I'd say that it is
broadly unsupported and will require that we add a section to our explain
records listing the CQL features that we don't support.

I'd prefer W/ and N/ (within and near) to % and !.  I've never seen those
characters used for proximity.
