Hoss Man reopened LUCENE-2604:
------------------------------


Re-opening ... some issues were pointed out in a recent mailing list thread 
that definitely seem like they should be addressed before this is officially 
released...

* queryparsersyntax.xml doesn't mention this feature at all -- as major new 
syntax is should really get it's own section with an example showing the syntax
* queryparsersyntax.xml's section on "Escaping Special Characters" needs to 
mention that '/' is a special character
* QueryParser.escape needs to include '/' in the characters it escapes
** ditto for Solr's ClientUtils.escapeQueryChars and 
SolrPluginUtils.partialEscape
** i've got a patch for this i'll commit as soon as the tests finish.

Also: Given that Yury encountered some real world situations in which the new 
syntax caused problems with existing queries, it seems like we should 
definitely make a note about this possibility more promonient ... i'm not sure 
if it makes sense in MIGRATE.txt but at a minimum it seems like the existing 
CHANGES.txt entry should mention it, maybe something like...

* LUCENE-2604: Added RegexpQuery support to QueryParser. Regular expressions
  are now directly supported by the standard queryparser using the syntax... 
     fieldName:/expression/ OR /expression against default field/
  Users who wish to search for literal "/" characters are advised to 
  backslash-escape or quote those characters as needed.

...thoughts?
