Thanks, Otis - yes, this is different from the synonyms filter, which we also
use. For example, if you wanted all tokens that were marked 'lemma' to be
removed, you could specify that, and all tokens with any type other than
'lemma' would still be returned. You could also choose to remove all tokens of
types 'lemma' and 'word' (although that would probably be a bad idea!), etc.
Normally, if you don't want a token type, you just don't include/run the filter
that produces that type. However, we have a third-party filter that produces
multiple types, and this allows us to select a subset of those types.
I did see the HowToContribute wiki, but I'm relatively new to solr, and I
wanted to see if this looked familiar to someone before I started down the
contribution path.
Thanks again!

Monica,
This is different from Solr's synonyms filter with different synonyms files,
one for index-time and the other for query-time expansion (not sure when you'd
want that, but it looks like you need this and like this), right? If so, maybe
you can describe what your filter does differently and then
follow http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute - thanks in advance! :)
