Review Comment:
   ben for the normal scoring, you can look at tests for similarities package. 
none of these have any 0 to 1 range or anything like that. instead requirements 
are that score increases semimonotonically as term frequency increases, 
decreases wrt documents length, etc. these guarantees allow optimizations such 
as block max wand to be applied safely. but theres no defined range at all. 
instead lots of crazy floating point hacks so that we can safely get really 
good performance.
