Erik Hatcher commented on LUCENE-489:
-------------------------------------

FYI - Actually it would not be possible to override getWildcardQuery to reverse 
a "*foo" query term.  The parser prevents *foo from being parsed before even 
getting to getWildcardQuery without a change to the .jj grammar.

> Wildcard Queries with leading "*"
