I think this is a solution in search of a problem.  I'll lay decent
odds that 90% of "programmers new to lucene" will be able to do
everythin they need with the current query parser.  By the time
they start doing things that are complicated enough to require using
the query parser, they will no longer be new to lucene. 

And the query API is really not that hard to learn.
