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

Hey Yonik,

Its super to hear from you on this, it'll be a real help.

Regarding weighting - function queries can contain normal queries, so anywhere 
a function query is used, it must be weighted first.
{quote}

Yup I've come to understand that.  So the challenge is how to do this when a 
FunctionQuery is used to sort and not Query? Okay.  I'm going to open an issue 
to see if we can address this better, maybe by extending SortField or something.

Sort instances are like Query instances, and for many reasons should not be 
bound to any particular searcher.
{quote}

Yeah that is true.  But ValueSource#getSort actually returns a SortField.  Does 
the same apply to SortField instances?  Also, ValueSource#weight(IndexSearcher) 
returns a new SortField as well, with a context containing the IndexSearcher.  
Consequently the new SortField is bound to that particular searcher.
