: But you must have a real use case... that inspired this idea?  Where
: are apps/Solr "typically" using such expensive filters?

i have no idea what usecase prompted yonik to start thinking about this, 
but the first example that came up in my mind is the semi-ubiquitous 'ACL' 
question that people always want to implement using a completley 
external authorization system.

If you have no choice but to query an remote system to find out if a 
document should be included in a particular result set, odds are you don't 
want to pay the price of asking it only to find out afterwards that it 
doesn't matter anyway, because it doesn't metch a required query clause.
