Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-1001:
--------------------------------------

Grant,

You asked:

... how do I get access to the position payloads in the order that they occur 
in the PQ? 

The answer was already there:

... , it's easier than that: when they match, they all match, so you only need 
to keep the input Spans around in List or whatever. Then use them all as a 
source for your payloads.

Regards,
Paul Elschot

P.S. I've had my break already...
