	I think you are agreeing as long as the prefetch is based on a
new score field like (prefetch -100) get everything with score -100 or
better.  If it's based on a notion of mark or expunge, then you don't
want a line's field in there.  You might also want conditionalized
scoring, either being more or less liberal in the prefetch than you do
for your normal scoring.
