Are there any plans on implementing a MultiSearcher into solr?

I have been following the list for a while, and read quite a few topic on
multiple instances of solr, in order to accomodate multiple schemas as well
as break down index sizes for performance reasons. I have a use case that
sits right in the middle of these. I need to be able to break down the data
into collections, which might be defined by business factors, but also be
able search across these collections. When I say search across, I would
expect to see a results list ordered in relevance, just as you would expect
when searching a single collection.

Does solr support such a use case? Does anyone have a working implementation
of it that you would like to share? If there aren't any plans on
implementing the above, any suggestions on tackling the above requirement?

A MultiSearcher over multiple RemoteSearchers can work in Lucene.
