If such a contrib module becomes widely used, and it becomes clear that it would work better if more tightly integrated, then perhaps we could move it into the core. So, Victor, do you think this functionality could be reasonably packaged as an add-on package to Lucene? If so, it would be much easier to get it included in Lucene as a contrib module.
