In retrospect I proposed two things here that should be separated.
(1) NamedList becoming abstract and having some factory methods to make the
type being constructed super explicit instead of accidental.  Basically,
make it clear if the keys may repeat by putting that into the name of the
factory method.
(2) Breaking some Solr API JSON responses due to a previously poor choice
of NamedList type (should use SimpleOrderedMap).  This should be kept very
distinct from #1.  We've certainly fixed our APIs on this matter before.
