See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15859 for an example 
where I am creating a new global handler.

I am wondering if ImplicitPlugins.json could be put in a location like 
server/lib/ext so recompiling Solr or jar surgery isn't required.  I 
think server/lib/ext is searched on the classpath before WEB-INF.  Even 
better would be to have another json where user-specified implicit 
handlers can be defined.

Thanks,
