> At the moment, Scorer.freq() does different things depending on the Scorer implementation:
> * TermScorer and the phrase scorers return the frequency of that term or phrase in the current document.  TermScorer.freq() is not actually called anywhere (apart from in a couple of tests), and XPhraseScorer.freq() is only called in PhraseWeight.explain()
> * The various Boolean scorers return the number of matching subscorers, and are used for coord calculations.
> I think this is confusing.  I propose that we instead add a new coord() method to Scorer that by default returns 1, and that is overridden by the boolean scorers; and that we just remove freq() entirely.  PhraseWeight.explain() can call a package-private method on XPhraseScorer.
