----------------------------------------------------------------

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.
