=== Stemmer Token Filter

A filter that provides access to (almost) all of the available stemming token
filters through a single unified interface. For example:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "index" : {
        "analysis" : {
            "analyzer" : {
                "my_analyzer" : {
                    "tokenizer" : "standard",
                    "filter" : ["standard", "lowercase", "my_stemmer"]
                }
            },
            "filter" : {
                "my_stemmer" : {
                    "type" : "stemmer",
                    "name" : "light_german"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------

The `language`/`name` parameter controls the stemmer with the following
available values (the preferred filters are marked in *bold*):
