 It might be helpful in some situations to be able to get the list of
 documents matching a Query as a posting source.  This would allow a user
 to get hold of this list of documents as a stream, rather than having to
 run a full query.  The most likely use would be to feed the list into
 another posting source, having done some filtering or modification of
 weights, but there may be other uses, too.

 I have no immediate use for this feature, but I found an old patch
 implementing this, so thought I'd attach it to trac as a starting point if
 anyone else wants something similar in future.  Not marking with a
 milestone - if you read this ticket and want this, please comment!
