Was fishing around in parsers in solr and discovered that we have two
different term and boost classes in Lucene. Is this really desirable? They
are quite similar except one implements a notion of equality, and doesn't
copy the BytesRef when created whereas the other relies on object equality
and does copy the BytesRef in the constructor.
The difference in copying BytesRef seems suspicious, and I wonder if
there's a good reason not to have a different notion of equality among the
two. Also one is public and the other is private to SynonymQuery but both
are static and don't seem to leverage their privileges of being within the
containing class, so maybe they don't need to be inner classes?
