The "Matcher" proposal happened back in January 2009 on the lucy-dev list.  I
posted a link to it on [email protected] at the time.

At least, that's the Matcher proposal I remember. :)

We ultimately did replace Scorer with Matcher in Lucy.  Other pieces of that
proposal have found their way into Lucene, e.g. not calculating score prior to
hit collection.

Cheers,
