 *  weight contribution to a query based on the values stored in a slot.  The
 *  values in the slot must be serialised as by @a sortable_serialise().
 *
 *  However, this posting source is additionally given a range of document IDs,
 *  within which the weight is known to be decreasing.  ie, for all documents
 *  with ids A and B within this range (including the endpoints), where A is
 *  less than B, the weight of A is less than or equal to the weight of B.
 *  This can allow the posting source to skip to the end of the range quickly
 *  if insufficient weight is left in the posting source for a particular
 *  source.
 *
 *  By default, the range is assumed to cover all document IDs.
 *
 *  The ordering property can be arranged at index time, or by sorting an
 *  indexed database to produce a new, sorted, database.
