Description
Robert Muir:
> But I think this is related to my comment above: I think its confusing that DocValues fields are treated
> as Stored fields at all?
> This basically is the same problem all over again\.
> You make a Document with N StorableFields
> You call IR\.document and get a StorableDocument back, with N-3 StorableFields\.
> You wonder: what happened to the other 3 fields?
> They were DocValues\.

Research direction
Review parent issue #5413 and the migrated LUCENE-4349 discussion first. The issue asks for a design decision about whether DocValues should extend StoredField, but it names no files or tests; done would require a recorded decision and any resulting work to be identified.
