Default search field API weirdness

Hello,

Does anybody know why schema.getDefaultSearchField() was deprecated?

The javadoc for the deprecated method advises the use of
schema.getSolrQueryParser().getField(). But schema.getSolrQueryParser() does
not exist. There's a method schema.getSolrQueryParser(String) which accepts
the default search field name! If we pass null as the name, it creates a
SolrQueryParser using the deprecated schema.getDefaultSearchField() :)

This all seems weird and confusing to me. Why all this just to get to the
default search field?

I too think it is weird.
