Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------------------
For me, *coveredBy* and *between* (and *at*) are different choices along the
same paradigmatic axis of "location constraints". Either I say "give me all
annotations covered by annotation X" or I say "give me all annotations between
X and Y". If I would say "give me all annotations covered by annotation X *and*
between X and Y", then I would be providing two "location constraints". Since
we said that we only should support a single "location constraint", I would
suggest to now allow combining these two constraints into a single statement.
If I really wanted to express `coveredBy(between(fs1, fs2))`, I would probably
say `coveredBy(fs1.getEnd(), fs2.getBegin())`.
I didn't understand the "starting at" semantics yet... you mean to express
something like "following(annoFS)" instead as "startAt(annoFS).shift(1)"?
