So at the moment there isn't anything that actually uses this. My reason for 
adding it was to make it possible to identify the leaf query that returned each 
position, but maybe it would be a better idea to remove terms() entirely, and 
add a getLeafQuery() method instead?

hard to tell since I don't know the API well enough. But if this is the 
purpose, I agree.

> At the moment, we return a single BytesRef from MatchesIterator.term(), which 
> works well for the queries that currently implement this.  This won't be 
> enough for queries that operate on more than one term, however, such as 
> phrase or Span queries.
> In preparation for LUCENE-8249, this issue will change the method to return 
> an array of BytesRef
