[sword-devel] Faster searching wanted (OT)

What format would MaxChapters() be in?
module.MaxChapters(some params);
But would it take a VerseKey still, or use a bookname/number?

Assumably the locale won't affect the values returned.

If it is just versekey.MaxChapters() then it only saves the *key = 
MAXCHAPTER bit.

Seems that VerseKey key; should  be deprecated in favour of 
module.CreateKey. But then a SetKey is also necessary. 
module.CreateVerseKey or VerseKey key(module) might be handy.

Anyway, the amount of code isn't too big of a deal - I'm sure there 
isn't much overhead in *key = MAXCHAPTER :-).
