Yes I understand that. But because of this it is still not a bug, it is a "feature" (and also implemented like that) to build phrase queries without Quotes, e.g. by simply appending works with ASCII-hyphens (for most European analyzers). And exactly to preserve this behavior, lets simply switch it on/of using a getsetter. That’s all I want, really. I know you are right and I still want to drink beer with you in Berlin and not being killed :-) I just want to make the feature accessible and documented without Version. The idea behind Version would be contradicted. Also the "feature" would go in 4.0.
That’s all and I hope that you understand my argument.
