> A Matcher is an object which matches a set of Lucy doc ids, iterating over
> them via Next() and Advance().  It combines the roles of Lucene's
> DocIdSetIterator and Scorer classes.
> Some -- but not all -- Matchers implement a Score() method.  We can refer to
> such Matchers informally as "scorers", but Lucy won't need a Scorer class a la
> Lucene.   In Lucy, Query classes will compile down to Matchers that either
> Score() or don't.  This allows us to perform optimizations on branches of
> compound scorers: compiling "foo AND NOT bar" will produce a scoring Matcher
> for "foo" and a non-scoring Matcher for "bar", since the "bar" branch can
> never contribute to the score.
