Sanne and I discussed this solution after you warned about making the  
field bridge stateful. I guess the returned strings would have to be a  
list of all potential field names a bridge adds. Of course this is not  
intuitive at all.

The easiest is to just pull out the field name parameter and move it to  
initialize. Introducing something like IndexContext into the set method  
(as discussed in Jira) could be an alternative, but to certain degree it  
replaces LuceneOptions with something new.
