Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8306:
---------------------------------------

OK, how about this:
 * getSubMatches() can be called at multiple levels, and returns null when 
we're on a leaf
 * label() returns something appropriate at each level: top-level queries at 
the top level, matching Terms at the lowest level, and a Spans or 
IntervalIterator object at intermediate levels

The other option for label() could be to go back to the idea of returning a 
BytesRefIterator, so the top level would return all the currently matching 
terms, and the leaf levels just a singleton iterator over the current term

> Allow iteration over the term positions of a Match

> For multi-term queries such as phrase queries, the matches API currently just 
> returns information about the span of the whole match.  It would be useful to 
> also expose information about the matching terms within the phrase.  The same 
> would apply to Spans and Interval queries.
