Yeah, I think this is reasonable.  I still think it would be nice to
have the requested functionality.  I'm probably having a visceral
reaction to the fact that I initially thought the new parser *did*
support these kinds of searches, and was really confused when I got
errors.  Austin's custom query parser from way back did support this, so
it is possible.  It doesn't hurt anything to continue to list it as a
desired feature.
