I think I follow? Yes, FilterQuery here is as in `FilterQuery.java`, which
is really specific, almost always invoked via `filter([backing_query])`, when
you want consult the filterCache for the backing query in a context where it
would normally _not_ consult the filterCache. This is particulary useful, e.g.,
for fine-grained control of how subclauses in queries are cached. That
use-case/concept doesn't go away if there's a closer relationship between `fq`
and `FilterQuery` ... if anything I could see renaming `FilterQuery` to be more
clearly distinct from `fq` (in fact, it's hard to search Jira for issues
related to `FilterQuery` because that term is indeed often used informally to
refer to `fq`).
So, just to clarify, your [comment above](#pullrequestreview-887690496)
should no longer be a concern (i.e., `fq={!cache=false}foo:bar` would
definitely still work as it currently does)? What this PR does is make it so
that `fq=filter(foo:bar)` would only cache one query, not two. And, for good
measure, `fq={!cache=false}filter(foo:bar)` would still hit the filterCache
_via the `filter(...)` wrapper_.
