Description

IR/IS.getTopReaderContext is supposed to read as "get the ReaderContext, with this reader treated as the top".

But every time I look at it, it reads as "get context of the top-level reader".

This makes sense for IndexSearcher, but is confusing for IndexReader.

I think it should simply be IR.getContext() for IndexReader.
