Why are you retrieving thousands of stored fields?

I don't think we should add such an API: stored fields shouldn't be
used like that, only for things like summary results, so the
possibility of two documents being in the same block is not so high
anyway.

And i think the api to stay the way it is (simple visitor) to
encourage the fact that people shouldnt use stored fields for
"processing".
