Perhaps this ought to be <Term, TermInfo>, where TermInfo contains a
FilePointer and perhaps other information (e.g., frequency data).

Yes. Another example is skip data.

So the ideal solution would permit both different formats to either
share a file, or to use their own file(s).

Agree.

Is it worth the complexity
this would add to the API?  Or should we jettison the notion of multiple
posting files per segment?

+1 for a single posting file per segment. I was wondering if we wanted
to provide all the flexibility possible. Things will be much simpler
with a single posting file per segment... :-)
