Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-5115:
--------------------------------------------------
Looking into this in more detail, I don't see how methods like coveredBy,
covering, or at would be able to switch the generic return type to "? extends
AnnotationFS". They could do it in two ways:
* either by inferring the generic type from the variable to which they are
assigned (see problem explained above)
* or through an additional class-type parameter from which the new return type
is derived
If none of these options above are used and they simply returned "? extends
AnnotationFS", then that could override the generic type set via e.g.
type(Token.class) ... or at/coveredBy/covering would always have to be invoked
*before* invoking type(class)...
