QueryParser exception on escaped double quote character

[Matt Magoffin <ap...@msqr.us>]

I'm having a problem getting the QueryParser to correctly parse a string
like the following:

addr:"Foo \"Bar\" Street"

Should this work, or is there some other way to escape double quotes
within a quoted query term? Here is a unit test that shows the problem:

import junit.framework.TestCase;

import org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer;
import org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser;
import org.apache.lucene.search.Query;

public class TestQueryParser extends TestCase {

	public void testLuceneEscapedQuotesBug() throws Exception {
		// this fails
		Query q = new QueryParser("foo",new StandardAnalyzer()).parse(
			"addr:\"My \\\"A\\\" Street\"");
	}

}

Unfortunately, the QueryParser doesn't handle any escaping inside a quoted
string.
