> It would be useful if the method =3DFilter.bits()=3D returned an abstract=
 interface, instead of =3Djava.util.BitSet=3D.
> Use case: there is a very large index, and, depending on the user's privi=
leges, only a small portion of the index is actually visible.
> Sparsely populated =3Djava.util.BitSet=3Ds are not efficient and waste lo=
ts of memory. It would be desirable to have an alternative BitSet implement=
ation with smaller memory footprint.
> Though it _is_ possibly to derive classes from =3Djava.util.BitSet=3D, it=
 was obviously not designed for that purpose.
> That's why I propose to use an interface instead. The default implementat=
ion could still delegate to =3Djava.util.BitSet=3D.
