/**
 * Abstract decorator class for a DocIdSet implementation
 * that provides on-demand filtering/validation
 * mechanism on a given DocIdSet.
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * Technically, this same functionality could be achieved
 * with ChainedFilter (under contrib/misc), however the
 * benefit of this class is it never materializes the full
 * bitset for the filter.  Instead, the {@link #match}
 * method is invoked on-demand, per docID visited during
 * searching.  If you know few docIDs will be visited, and
 * the logic behind {@link #match} is relatively costly,
 * this may be a better way to filter than ChainedFilter.
