Otis, this is precisely why nothing will get done any time soon on the
multi-term synonym issue - there isn't even common agreement that there is a
problem, let alone common agreement on the specifics of the problem, let
alone common agreement on a solution.
Even though technically the Solr Query Parser is now separate from the
Lucene Query Parser, the synonym filter is still strictly Lucene. Addressing
the multi-term synonym feature requires enhancement to the synonym filter,
so without common agreement on the nature of the problem (which I already
outlined), the only path forward is for Solr to provide its own synonym
filter and leave the existing "Lucene" synonym filter intact.
That said, I don't expect general community agreement on a path forward for
multi-term synonyms any time soon.

Probably because its not a synonyms problem: its just a bug in a
specific queryparser.
If you dont use that queryparser, you dont care: if you want to fix
that one, well the only correct solution is obvious, fix the
queryparser not to split on whitespace. hacking other things around it
is no option at all :)
