----------------------------------------------------------------

Yah, the factory makes it easy for new users to create string ranges (as one 
exspects, like with NRQ, NRF, FCRF), but as the query itsself works on 
BytesRef, its ctor takes BytesRef. With the static factory, compile errors when 
you use null as bounds are not happening.

Do we need a LessString() or should we completely remove the useless static 
factories named Less in the filter?

> in LUCENE-2426, the sort order was changed to codepoint order.
> unfortunately, Term is still using string internally, and more importantly 
> its compareTo() uses the wrong order [utf-16].
> So MultiTermQuery, etc (especially its priority queues) are currently wrong.
> By changing Term to use bytes, we can also support terms encoded as bytes 
> such as numerics, instead of using
> strange string encodings.
