That's why on the mailing I also suggested we could have each stemmer share a 
common interface that would filter non-stemmable literals out of the way
{quote}

We actually have this in place, but its too limited. Its called 
KeywordAttribute. When this is set, the stemmer will not touch the word.

Currently the only way to set this out of box is to use KeywordMarkerFilter 
which takes a Set of protected words.

But to make your idea more flexible: I could imagine a couple more filters:
* one that marks as Keyword based on a set of types. In this case you would 
just add NUM to that set, and no stemmers would touch any numbers. Of course
  for french this is solved already, but imagine if you are using the URLEmail 
tokenizer: I think a set like { URL, EMAIL } would be very useful,
  otherwise stemmers will probably muck with them.
* one that marks as Keyword based on a regular expression. This could be good 
for fine-tuning stemmers for a lot of general purpose needs: e.g. on the 
  mailing list before someone was unhappy about how russian stemmers would 
treat russian place names and they had a certain set of suffixes they didnt
  want stemmed.

Anyway, I would really like to see these filters, I think they would be pretty 
simple to implement as well.
