The short-form ID searcher in package idsearcher makes the following assumptions:

• The searcher uses bufio.Scanner to scan the contents of each file, line by line. If it encounters a line that is too large to fit within the buffer, it will stop scanning that file. As a result, it will currently only pick up short-form IDs that occur prior to such a line.

• For PackageLicenseInfoFromFiles (in Package) and LicenseInfoInFile (in File), an exception should be treated as a separate “license”. For example, in the expression GPL-2.0-only WITH Classpath-exception-2.0, each of GPL-2.0-only and Classpath-exception-2.0 will be listed separately.
