First: this patch only addresses the final offset, but shouldn't we also
address the final position? Eg if StopFilter removes the last few tokens,
shouldn't we make it possible to report those skipped positonIncrements?
{quote}
Hmm now that we have getPositionIncrementGap() and getOffsetGap(), I think it
would make sense to also add getFinalPositionIncrement()?
{quote}
To fix this, I'd like to add a new getFinalOffset() to TokenStream.

Could we add this as Attributes using the new API? FinalOffsetAttribute and
FinalPositionIncrementAttribute?

> If you add multiple Fieldable instances for the same field name to a
> document, and you then index those fields with TermVectors storing offsets,
> it's very likely the offsets for all but the first field instance will be
> wrong.
> This is because IndexWriter under the hood adds a cumulative base to the
> offsets of each field instance, where that base is 1 + the endOffset of the
> last token it saw when analyzing that field.
> But this logic is overly simplistic. For example, if the WhitespaceAnalyzer
> is being used, and the text being analyzed ended in 3 whitespace characters,
> then that information is lost and then next field's offsets are then all 3
> too small. Similarly, if a StopFilter appears in the chain, and the last N
> tokens were stop words, then the base will be 1 + the endOffset of the last
> non-stopword token.
> To fix this, I'd like to add a new getFinalOffset() to TokenStream. I'm
> thinking by default it returns -1, which means "I don't know so you figure it
> out", meaning we fallback to the faulty logic we have today.
> This has come up several times on the user's list.
