I find myself wanting to get a single Document by ID often.

But sometimes the ID will already be in indexed form, sometimes
you will only want to get certain fields, etc.
I think it might be better as a convenience function somewhere, rather
than expanding the interface of SolrIndexSearcher even more.

How do you all feel about adding this (or something like it) to
SolrIndexSearcher?


   public Document getDocumentByUniqueKey( String id ) throws IOException
   {
     SchemaField uniqueKey = schema.getUniqueKeyField();
     if( uniqueKey != null ) {
       Term t = new Term( uniqueKey.getName(),
           uniqueKey.getType().toInternal( id.toString() ) );
       int docID = getFirstMatch( t );
       if( docID >= 0 ) {
         return doc( docID );
       }
     }
     return null;
   }
