Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------
Doing the implementation based on these "primitives" is good because you only
do things once, and then have other things combine them.
I think it can also be useful to help people learn an api - they learn a (few)
primitives, and then see how they can be combined in a potentially wide variety
of ways, some of which we support with "convenience methods with positional
args".
I'm imagining for example, a case where someone wanted the "single" constraint
applied to a "between" style of boundary specification - something we might not
have made a convenience method for, because we didn't think it was
wanted/needed. Another possibility is adding the capability to iterate
backwards to any of the wide variety of possibilities. With all the variations
possible, the convenience methods would only cover a portion...
