------------------------------------

> 
> There are *lots* of reasons why a field might be indexed though, so faceting 
> on every indexed field doesn't seem like it would ever make sense.
> 

agreed, but *_facet would be useful

> 
> if we do this, i would think it only makes sense to generalize the use of "*" 
> in both fl and facet.field into a true glob style syntax

One issue is that fl=XXX is typically a field list separated with "," or "|", 
facet.field expects each field as a separate parameter.




> Allow facet.field=* to facet on all fields (without knowing what they are)
