I agree that your proposed definition is more intuitive. I think it
might make TermScorer.advance() a tad less efficient, though,
because it would be necessary to check the current doc first.
{code}
public boolean skipTo(int target) throws IOException {
// first scan in cache
for (pointer++; pointer < pointerMax; pointer++) {
if (docs[pointer] >= target) {
doc = docs[pointer];
return true;
}
}
{code}
There might be others, as well. I'd be concerned if something
low-level like TermDocs or TermPositions was affected
negatively. It seems likely, because we'd be changing from
"advance, then check state" to "check state, then advance,
then check state".
Funny, but this is actually closer to "skip to" than "advance", since
under this proposal, the iterator would not always advance.

> methods that return the current doc they are at, to save successive calls to
> doc(). If there are no more docs, return -1. A summary of what was discussed
> so far:
> # Deprecate those two methods.
> # Add nextDoc() and skipToDoc(int) that return doc, with default impl in DISI
> (calls next() and skipTo() respectively, and will be changed to abstract in
> 3.0).
> #* I actually would like to propose an alternative to the names: advance()
> and advance(int) - the first advances by one, the second advances to target.
> # Wherever these are used, do something like '(doc = advance()) >= 0' instead
> of comparing to -1 for improved performance.
> I will post a patch shortly
