    Description

      the maximum within-document TF is a very useful scoring value,
      we should expose it so that people can use it in scoring

      consider the following sim:

      @Override
      public float idf(int docFreq, int numDocs) {
        return 1.0F; /* not used */
      }
      
      @Override
      public float computeNorm(String field, FieldInvertState state) {
        return state.getBoost() / (float) Math.sqrt(state.getMaxTF());
      }
      

      which is surprisingly effective, but more interesting for practical reasons.
