See individual commits for descriptions.

add Checker API
make scans 7X faster by comparing ints instead of strings, looking up word pairs
expand match Start/End when appropriate
add wildcard support for better matching

One interesting question: should we drop the ok bool from the Cover method result? It seems to be redundant with len(cov.Match) == 0 or cov.Percent == 0.
