----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a WIP impl of this that walks the Scorer tree, advancing and checking
docID(). The code is definitely cleaner and less intrusive than the previous
patch. However, I ran into an issue since the Scorer tree doesn't really mirror
the original Query tree. A simple example is a query like
{quote}{{*:* -foo:1}}{quote}
This gets scored using a ReqExclScorer which has only a single child
corresponding to the MatchAllQuery and can't really be used to discover if a
mis-match is due to matching the foo:1 term query.
So I think I need to walk the tree of Weights, as explain() does.

> If you need to analyze the root cause of a query's failure to match some
> document, you can use the Weight.explain() API. If you want to do some gross
> analysis of a whole batch of queries, say scraped from a log, that once
> matched, but no longer do, perhaps after some refactoring or other
> large-scale change, the Explanation isn't very good for that. You can try
> parsing its textual output, which is pretty regular, but instead I found it
> convenient to add some boolean structure to Explanation, and use that to find
> failing leaves on the Explanation tree, and report only those.
> This patch adds a "condition" to each Explanation, which can be REQUIRED,
> OPTIONAL, PROHIBITED, or NONE. The conditions correspond in obvious ways to
> the Boolean Occur, except for NONE, which is used to indicate a node which
> can't be further decomposed. It adds new Explanation construction methods for
> creating Explanations with conditions (defaulting to NONE with the existing
> methods).
> Finally Explanation.getFailureCauses() returns a list of Strings that are the
> one-line explanations of the failing queries that, if some of them had
> succeeded, would have made the original overall query match.
