Review Comment:
   I understand from your above main comment that we don't want to load the 
matches in the bitset incase of flat scorer but it seems to me that allowing 
would make the api contract simple(but at the cost of doing unneccessary 
work)....Is that correct? If yes, could we somehow avoid only undesirable 
loading at the same time keeping the contract simple(with no restrictions)?
   
   Basically I was considering that if user doesn't call `bits()` or `cost()` 
before calling `iterator()`, we return the same iterator(without loading or 
creating  the BitSet), and the iterator wouldn't filter out the deletes i.e. 
the iterator wouldn't be a conjunction over live docs, as we previously 
decided. So was thinking if we could allow the caller to access both `bits` and 
`iterator` as needed? maybe its not that simple or the extra cost to pay if not 
worth?
