Sean (and team),
I was using PrecisionTermConsumer for my ctakes-web-rest implementation hoping 
to avoid any overlaps at all, but when I saw some overlaps I noticed the 
comment:
PrecisionTermConsumer will only persist only the longest overlapping span of 
any semantic group.

So with this term consumer, "colon cancer" goes from 3 spans (colon, cancer, 
colon cancer) to 2 (colon, colon cancer) since cancer and colon cancer have the 
same semantic group. But if I want it to go to 1 (colon cancer), is that what 
SemanticCleanupTermConsumer does?
