Why Numeric (IntField) tokenized false by Default

[Arjun Dhar <dh...@yahoo.com>]

If One refers to the JavaDoc for Sort it states that INDEX and and the field
should NOT be TOKENIZED.
Its a common use case for Numbers to be Sorted.

Am curious to find the default values of say IntField as :
TYPE_NOT_STORED.setTokenized(true);

Any reason why its tokenized by default? 
The constructors suggest you should play with STORE or NO STORE @ best. But
I feel there is sufficient reason to have to define your own FieldType for
sorting ?
