Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4378:
-------------------------------------

In my opinion, a better approach is something like the BoostingQuery in 
lucene/queries for this demoting of terms.

As far as the implementation, I don't particularly like that it goes thru 
coord(), but we could improve that.

> Negative query boosts have been supported at the "Query" object level for a 
> long time (resulting in negative scores for matching documents), but 
> evidently we never updated the QueryParsers to know about this - attempting 
> to specify a negative boost in the query string results in a parse error.
> we should probably add this to the parser grammer(s)
