Review comment:
I did this because I apply the boost in the scorer rather than in the
similarity (such as in LMDirichletSimilarity), and I divide by the sum of the
boosts. I originally did this to exactly match the Indri scores; however, this
is not a huge priority. I don't have much issue with dropping this if it
doesn't fit in the Lucene workflow well.
