Feature request? Ignore allow_explicit_index when accessing root /_bulk URL

Hello,

When url-based access control is used for bulk requests

rest.action.multi.allow_explicit_index: false

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/url-access-control.html
It forbids explicitly setting the index in the request body regardless of
the bulk url used.

Would it be possible to allow setting explicit indexes when the URL
accessed is the /_bulk root, with no index specified in the URL?

This way if a user is allowed to access /_bulk, he can work as if
allow_explicit_index is false, while if a user is only allowed to access
specific {index}/_bulk urls, he is effectively contained.

With the current rules, the only way to allow bulk access with explicit
index to one user is to set allow_explicit_index to true and thus allow
full access to everybody with bulk access.

Maybe this feature is not that high-priority, I see that access control in
general does not seem to be the focus of elasticsearch. But if this is an
easy change, would this work?

Thanks,
Ivan

Ok, done.
I was not sure if I should go right to github or ask here first =)
