> Occasionally users are confused why index-time boosts are not applied to their norms-omitted fields.
> This is because we silently discard the boost: there is no reason for this!
> The most absurd part: in 4.0 you can make a StringField and call setBoost and nothing complains... (more reasons to remove StringField totally in my opinion)
