Hoss Man commented on SOLR-356:
-------------------------------

bq. Maybe I'm missing something from the recommendation though. Were you 
recommending using XML to express the functions themselves, or something else 
about the xml-query-parser?

I was not suggesting an XML syntax ... just that the approach the 
xml-query-parser takes to deal with recursively parsing/eval-ing the XML 
structure using "user" configured implementations for each type of XML node 
seems to map closely to the idea of recusively parsing/eval-ing parenthetical 
function syntax using "user" configured implantations for each function name.

In both cases the XML/paren parsing is trivial, it's deciding how to let the 
"user" tell you what Java objects to build based on each node/function name 
that gets interesting.

(like i said, i haven't looked at the xml-query-parser code since it was 
orriginally being written .. i may be over romanticizing the idea behind it's 
design and how applicable it could be in this case)
