    Attachment: LUCENE-3833.patch

Hi,

I'm attaching a patch that implements this feature for the classic query parser in the trunk. I'm still working on a solution for the flexible.standard implementation.

The syntax is the same as for sloppy phrases. Some things need to be decided:
* What should happen when this is applied to something that isn't a boolean query? For example: ([* TO *])~3. In this case, the patch simply ignores the mm.
* Because in the grammar definition I'm using the same production as for sloppy phrases, decimal values are allowed by the syntax. What should we do when the user enters a non-integer number? Throw a ParseException maybe? Currently, the patch also ignores the mm value in this case.

I don't really know much about JavaCC, I just learnt the basics to do the patch, so feel free to correct any possible mistakes.

In this patch I'm removing a constructor that was manually added to ParseException, so it doesn't fail when the sources are regenerated.

> A project I'm working on requires *term quorum* searching with stemming turned off. The users are accostomed to Sphinx search, and thus expect a query like [ A AND (B C D)/2 ] to return only documents that contain A or at least two of B, C or D. 
> So this document would match:
> a b c
> But this one wouldn't:
> a b
> This can be a useful form of fuzzy searching, and I think we support it via the MM parameter, but we lack a user-facing operator for this. It would be great to add it.
