I liked @rnewson's idea of a very simple/predictable view that uses the selector syntax instead of javascript so tried this: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/5310. It's even simpler than proposed, as it just uses the `_design/.../_view/...` pattern that we know (and love?). As for this particular PR, I think it's fine. We already got `_find` with it's good/bad parts, so adding more control over index selection seem reasonable. As for the future of `_find`, it's hard to say. Will we get a super-duper query planner like Postgres? Probably not any time soon. But I could see adding incremental improvements such as being able to merge two or more indexes to get the `$or` working properly (we already merge index results in fabric anyway!), so wouldn't like to preemptively neuter _find just yet.
