-----------------------------------------
Paul:
Applied the patch, applied cleanly, run ant test -> BUILD SUCCESSFUL :)
I'm primarily interested in using this in order to get matches, but avoid
scoring. From what I can tell, I'd just need to switch to using the new
match(Query, MatchCollector) method in IndexSearcher. However, I need Sort and
TopFieldDocs, and I don't see a match method with those. Is there a reason why
such a match method is not in the patch?

> It would be useful if the method =Filter.bits()= returned an abstract
> interface, instead of =java.util.BitSet=.
> Use case: there is a very large index, and, depending on the user's
> privileges, only a small portion of the index is actually visible.
> Sparsely populated =java.util.BitSet=s are not efficient and waste lots of
> memory. It would be desirable to have an alternative BitSet implementation
> with smaller memory footprint.
> Though it _is_ possibly to derive classes from =java.util.BitSet=, it was
> obviously not designed for that purpose.
> That's why I propose to use an interface instead. The default implementation
> could still delegate to =java.util.BitSet=.
