Well, having your application depend upon incorrect behavior
is...er...fraught.
It looks like what you really want is custom behavior for multiple
question marks, perhaps only with multiple question marks
at the end of your query?
If this is the case, I'd think about substituting splat (*) in this
case at query time. So you simply transform
cat??? to cat*....
If that doesn't satisfy your requirements, perhaps you could
post a more detailed explanation of what you're trying to
accomplish.

Hi!
How can I restore the behavior of the old
WildcardQuery under 2.1?
I badly need 'cat???' to match 'cat' again just like
in the older versions.
I could modify my istance of lucene by removing those
"new" lines, but I don't want to maintain a custom
lucene package.
Please help!
