Boy, I had an awesome use case when I wrote this up, but am forgetting it now.  I think it was something like:

If you are examining the index ahead of time, you could have heuristics about how much memory you want the system to use when loading a reader.  Thus, I could have a clause in my IndexReader code that did something like:

{code}
if (index is big or memory is tight){
reader = IndexReader.open(..., largerTermsIndexDiv);
} else{
reader = IndexReader.opent(..., DEFAULT_TERMS_INDEX_DIVISOR);
}
{code}

Hard coding a 1 in that else clause seems like a bad thing to do given there is already a "default" value spec. by Lucene.

Also, since it is package private, if I extend IndexReader, I won't have access to it.

At the end of the day, it's not a big deal.
