I suggest cql.alwaysMatches="*" as one simple implementation will cause
the creation of a real index with some canned value and we can't predict
what that value might be. So, a wildcard is the best way to find it.

I definitely prefer cql.<whateverIndex>="*"
But, it strikes me that that solution assumes I've extracted keywords
from that index. What if it is a string index? Will we require that
they use cql.<whateverIndex> exact "*"?
I'm not offended by this, I'm just looking for clarification. It is
definitely the case that I will fail the equals query if I only support
exact searches for that index.
