I *finally* looked at the Jira and lo! you specifically identified the
check method.... Someday I'll learn to look first, *then* explore.
Siiigghhh.

Anyway, looking at things a bit more, I'm more confident that
TestCustomScoreQuery wouldn't lose anything by moving the
query check outside of the loop. The queries don't change and
we're not re-querying....

TestBooleanShouldMatch is trickier. It produces 1,000 queries
that have widely varying forms. I don't see a clean way to test
one of each "form". We could decide that, say, the first 50
were enough. Or we shouldn't be running check on randomly-
generated queries. Or if we find a query that's actually a bug
we should test for it explicitly. Or... But I'm not comfortable
changing the check in the random test without some
consensus.

I'll give folks a chance to chime in between now and Monday
and generate a patch for one or both depending on the response.
