WordDelimiterFilter misunderstanding

I've misunderstood WordDelimiterFilter.  You might think that
catenateAll="1" would append the full phrase (sans delimiters) as an OR
against the query.

So "jOkersWild" would produce:

"j (okers wild)" OR "jokerswild"

But you thought wrong.  Its actually:

"j (okers wild jokerswild)"

Which is confusing and won't match... Anyone know of a filter mod to do the
former ?

This is unfortunately outside the scope of what filters can currently
do at query time.
This is why the example schema has WordDelimiterFilter only producing
subwords at query time (not catenating them).
