Okay, I agree - best would be to lose the method that does not make
sense for all multiterm queries.
I'll work on deprecating it and moving getTerm up to the sub queries
that it makes sense for.

During my implementations on trie range, I was always wondering, why
MultiTermQuery has this method. It seems to be relict from the past. The
term is only used in Fuzzy* (as far as I have seen).
Why no deprecate getTerm() in MultiTermQuery, remove the field in
MultiTermQuery and all related occurrences? The field and methods are then
*not* deprecated and senseful implemented in Fuzzy*.
In my opinion, the MultiTermQuery should only provide the functionality to
handle FilteredTermEnums and everything else should be left to the
implementor.

Subject: RangeQuery and getTerm
RangeQuery is based on two terms rather than one, and currently returns
null from getTerm.
This can lead to less than obvious null pointer exceptions. I'd almost
prefer to throw UnsupportedOperationException.
However, returning null allows you to still use getTerm on
MultiTermQuery and do a null check in the RangeQuery case. Not sure how
valuable that really is though.
Thoughts?
