But I think this is a downside here, if we add some new flag (e.g. 
acceptedDocs) its important for you to change your code.
The context gives you a false warm-fuzzy feeling: pretend we already had 
ScorerContext and we committed this issue:
then your custom query continues to work fine, until you use a filter and its 
silently wrong!

Actually I think this is a serious problem with what we have today?

It's really awful/dangerous if on upgrade, silently, filtering stops working 
against your custom Query.

It's also awful if we internally mess up and miss a Query that should have been 
fixed to handle .acceptedDocs, which could easily happen today.

OK I think we should just go back to passing the arguments directly, noting 
that this API is internal, so that custom queries out there will get a hard 
compile-time break, not silently get the wrong results, when there's an 
important change here.  It's too dangerous to use a context object.
