Inconsistent behavior between "range" and "numeric_range" on unmapped dynamic_template fields

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Range filter queries degrade nicely across unmapped dynamic_template
fields, while numeric_range queries throw an error : "failed to find
mapping for field". Bug, Feature, or as Designed?

Tested on 0.19.11

Thank you.
