* return out_state containing "bar" or even null context if "bar" also has no
* backoff and is never followed by another word. Then the backoff is set to
* kNoExtensionBackoff. If the n-gram might be extended, then out_state must
* contain the full n-gram, in which case kExtensionBackoff is set. In any
* case, if an n-gram has non-zero backoff, the full state is returned so
* backoff can be properly charged.
* These differ only in sign bit because the backoff is in fact zero in either
* case.
