Description
This is a follow-up to LUCENE-7491. Maybe we could simplify things a bit by changing LeafReader.getPointValues() to LeafReader.getPointValues(String fieldName) and removing all String fieldName parameters from PointValues?

+1.
Related conceptually is another idea I've had kicking around: Does Fields need to exist? It seems like a pointless intermediary. Why not have LeafReader.getTerms(fieldName) instead? One loses the ability to get the count and iterate over indexed fields, but it's not clear what real use-cases are for that and such rare needs could figure that out with FieldInfos. If it sounds reasonable to you all I'll file a separate issue.
Fields does seem a bit silly, being such a tiny wrapper class, and it would make things more consistent if you also just passed a field name to the IndexReader API.
Though, we also return Fields from getTermVectors, since that's essentially a tiny single-document inverted index. I'm not sure how we'd polish that usage away ... I guess we could just narrow it to a new (old!) TermVectors class.
+1 to nuking Fields too
Here is a patch that deals with points. I'd like to do changes to Fields / term vectors in a different issue.
+1 to the patch. I like how it, at least it seems, like there is a net reduction in code.
The diff stats report a reduction of the number of lines indeed:

+1 to the patch, thanks Adrien Grand!
