✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so real talk: Search::Xapian::Weight is an abstract base class for weighting schemes in Xapian. 🫶

Abstract means exactly what you think it means — it's the concept, the aura, the main character energy, not a thing you'd go instantiate on a random Tuesday. It sits up top of the family tree and all the actual weighting schemes branch off from it. The way that every weighting scheme in Xapian is lowkey descended from this one class? Iconic. 👑

Think of it as the template, not the product. The group chat rules, not the group chat. 💀
