Lucy::Search::PhraseQuery - Query matching an ordered list of terms.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $phrase_query = Lucy::Search::PhraseQuery->new( 
        field => 'content',
        terms => [qw( the who )],
    );
    my $hits = $searcher->hits( query => $phrase_query );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

PhraseQuery is a subclass of L<Query|Lucy::Search::Query> for matching
against an ordered sequence of terms.

=head1 CONSTRUCTORS

=head2 new

    my $phrase_query = Lucy::Search::PhraseQuery->new(
        field => $field  # required
        terms => $terms  # required
    );

        boost       => $boost        # required
        subordinate => $subordinate  # default: false
