Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-6160:
--------------------------------------------------
Having `startAt(int)` always behave as if type priorities didn't exist by
internally providing `Integer.MAX_VALUE` as the second argument to
`startAt(int, int)` sounds like the expected behavior - at least to me ;)
> Single int arg version of select.startAt()?
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: UIMA-6160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-6160
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: UIMA
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1SDK
> Reporter: Richard Eckart de Castilho
> Priority: Major
>
> If one wants to start looking for a particular annotation at a given
> character position, then I think it would be convenient to be able to say
> "select(Token.class).startAt(offset)", instead of having to say
> "select(Token.class).startAt(offset, offset)".
> What is not clear to me from reading the documentation is whether a Token
> which *ends* at offset would be returned or not.
> Another special case which is not clear by the documentation is whether a
> Token which *starts and ends* at offset would be returned.
