new Document class using collection framework

[Yonik Seeley <ys...@yahoo.com>]

The current document class is not that friendly if you
are trying to do things efficiently...
 - uses Vector, which is synchronized
 - can't use java5 "for (Field f : doc)"
 - can't get size()
 - can't get all fields into a Field[]
 - can't use with any generic code that works on
Collections or Lists

Proposal: Document should implement the List or
Collection interface

Example: here is a quick example that inherits from
ArrayList to quickly implement the needed List
functionality.  It should be completely backward
compatible.  If there is interest, I can flesh it out
a bit more...

    /** Constructs a new document with no fields. */

      this.boost = boost;
    }

    // backward compatability with the old Document

          buffer.append(" ");
      }
      buffer.append(">");
