Description
Currently, the suggest module only exposes the Lookup class to API users.
It might be worth exploring if we need a "Suggester" or similar class here to
make this easy to use for Lucene users... in general we should review the overall APIs
we are going to be presenting here.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the suggest module and the public Lookup class API. The issue asks whether a Suggester or similar class is needed and calls for an overall API review, but it names no files, tests, or concrete acceptance criteria; completion would require an agreed API direction for Lucene users.
