> {{Fields}} seems like a pointless intermediary between the {{LeafReader}} and
> {{Terms}}. Why not have {{LeafReader.getTerms(fieldName)}} instead? One loses
> the ability to get the count and iterate over indexed fields, but it's not
> clear what real use-cases are for that and such rare needs could figure that
> out with FieldInfos.
> [~mikemccand] pointed out that we'd probably need to re-introduce a
> {{TermVectors}} class since TV's are row-oriented not column-oriented. IMO
> they should be column-oriented but that'd be a separate issue.
> _(p.s. I'm lacking time to do this w/i the next couple months so if someone
> else wants to tackle it then great)_
