That's good news, and it doesn't look too bad.
Was it made part of the standard then? If no, why not?
Where can I read about SOLR's browse support functions?

Is there also name, title, and keyword browsing? I mean, true browsing,
up and down, a sorted list of titles, names, or keywords. For subject
headings, it looks almost right, but I don't see the same for
the other aspects.
