--------------------------------------

bq. I'd be in favor of leaving the current parallel array approach and working 
towards a fieldOption approach. I can offer to help on that end!

> The "maxPassages" input to the UnifiedHighlighter can be provided as an array 
> to some of the public methods on UnifiedHighlighter.  When it's provided as 
> an array, the index in the array is for the field in a parallel array. I 
> think this is awkward and furthermore it's inconsistent with the way this 
> highlighter customizes things on a by field basis.  Instead, the parameter 
> can be a simple int default (not an array), and then there can be a protected 
> method like {{getMaxPassageCount(String field}} that returns an Integer 
> which, when non-null, replaces the default value for this field.
> Aside from API simplicity and consistency, this will also remove some 
> annoying parallel array sorting going on.
