What would be the best way to do range bucketing on a price field?

I'm sort of taking the example from the Solr 1.4 book and I was  
thinking
about using a PatternTokenizerFactory  with a SynonymFilterFactory.

Is there a better way?

For faceting... how many ranges do you have?   The simplest option is  
to index the price as a float, and use facet.query's to give you back  
counts for the buckets... facet.query=price:[0 TO 100], and so on.
