While 2-3 char words in English can commonly be excluded when 
indexing generic texts, this may or may not be true for other 
languages. Furthermore, it may be desirable for some texts to index 
2-3 char acronyms. Not to mention a number of 3-char words in English 
that are proper nouns or verbs and should normally be included. And 
for scientific texts, 1-2 char words can also be quite proper (like 
element symbols). A solution used by Atomz for example is to allow us 
to provide an explicit list of words to be excluded.
