Hi Monica,

AFAIK there is nothing like the filter you've described, and I believe it would 
be generally useful.  Maybe it could be called StopTermTypesFilter?  (Plural on 
Types to signify that more than one type of term can be stopped by a single 
instance of the filter.)  

Such a filter should have an enablePositionIncrements option like StopFilter.
