Should we move EMPTY into DocsAndPositionsEnum?
{quote}

maybe it can be either moved or removed if the code is fixed :)

In this first patch its used both as a sentinel for a stopping condition and as
a placeholder for "term doesnt exist in this segment". The former i think is
no longer necessary and the latter is probably overkill.

This isn't just a cutover from term vectors to postings right? It actually 
scores each passage as if it were its own hit/document matching a search? Ie 
the passage ranking/selection differs from the two existing highlighters.
{quote}

Right: I think its different in a number of ways. I hope it should be really 
fast: but
again I didnt even bother benchmarking yet.

Its also limited in some ways since its just a prototype.
