Hi,

Interesting feature. See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3130 
for a discussion of using TypeAttribtue to (de)boost certain token types such 
as synonyms. Having the ability to remove a token type from the search, we 
could do many kind of searches on the same field, that we currently need 
separate fields for.
