Sounds logical to me. After all, TopDocCollector already has a subclass
(TopFieldDocCollector), and it is quite natural that users might want to
add more - to implement different sorting mechanisms (e.g., according
to payloads, database data, or whatever).
Does anyone disagree? Is there a reason why this change should not be done?
