[Snowball-discuss] French stemming documentation missing an item

In the French stemmer documentation, step 1 states this:

ement   ements
delete if in RV
if preceded by iv, delete if in R2 (and if further preceded by at, delete if 
in R2), otherwise,
if preceded by eus, delete if in R2, else replace by eux if in R1, 
otherwise,
if preceded by abl or iqU, delete if in R2, otherwise,
if preceded by ièr or Ièr, delete if in RV

However, in the implementation, if "ièr" or "Ièr" are encountered then only 
the trailing "èr" is deleted (the 'i' is left).  I think the documenation 
just needs to be updated.
