i agree... but i don't think it makes sense to try and add some special syntax 
to the "q" ... it probably makes more sense to add a new "matchall" param -- if 
there is no q, and matchall=true then use a MatchAllDocs instead -- if neither 
are set, throw an exception

(that way matchall can be set in the solrconfig as either a default or an 
invariant)

> But it should throw a 400 exception!

no disagreement there ... improving the error messages in error input cases is 
sometihng we need to do a lot of in Solr (most of hte focus in the past was on 
good behavior for good input)

> Dismax should not require 'q'
