dismax without q=

[Ryan McKinley]

Assuming there is an fq=xxx in the query, could dismax support a
queryless query?

I know it may not seem too meaningfully, but it would be nice to use
the same handler / query for:

 ?fq=type:file&ft=published=true
 ?fq=type:file&ft=published=true&q=ryan
 ?fq=type:file&ft=published=true&q=

Even if the answer is "no", it should throw a better exception then:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.solr.util.SolrPluginUtils.stripUnbalancedQuotes(SolrPluginUtils.java:676)
