2) I think this is covered by the javadocs and the 'expert' marking. Some users
really do need to see all expansions, and if they're aware of the trade-offs
involved then I don't think we need any further hard caps.

I think we should try to prevent users to shoot themselves in the foot. IMO
this is more important than for other queries because reaching the limit throw
an error so I expect that users raise the limit until they find a number that
work for all queries. Can we add an hard limit equals to max_boolean_clause ?
This would be consistent with the discussion in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8811 that should also check the
number of sources in an interval query ?

> MultiTermIntervalsSource has a maxExpansions parameter which is always set to
> 128 by the factory methods Intervals.prefix() and Intervals.wildcard(). We
> should keep 128 as the default, but also add additional methods that take a
> configurable maximum.
