\_all takes into account individual fields' boosts, but is there a way  
to have the same behavior for term analysis? Right now, I have to make  
dismax queries for specific fields that I know have special analyzers,  
but that is fragile and doesn't scale well as more types are added.

No, there isn't… . We can try and support it when indexing, but then, which analyzer will one use when searching…, it can create a noisy response at best.
