  $lexer = Moot::Waste::Lexer->new();   ##-- parent lexer object

  $lex = $lexer->stopwords();           ##-- embedded lexicon
  $lex = $lexer->conjunctions();        ##-- embedded lexicon

  ## Basic Access
 
  $lex->clear();                        ##-- delete all entries
  $lex->insert($str);                   ##-- insert a string
  $n    = $lex->size();                 ##-- get number of entries
  $bool = $lex->lookup($str);           ##-- check for membership

  ##---------------------------------------------------------------------
  ## I/O
 
  $lex->load($reader);                  ##-- load from Moot::TokenReader object
  $lex->load($filename);                ##-- load from named file (1 word/line)
  $lex->load($fh);                      ##-- load from filehandle (1 word/line)
