As far as I can tell, it creates a new annotation of the given type, > spanning the matched annotation of the given rule elements and allows to > assign them to the features of the created annotation. > But how is this different from the CREATE action? I'd argue that the latter > can do the same and more, which would render GATHER irrelevant. Just by using > LabelExpressions instead of NumberExpressions as arguments: > {noformat} > A B{-> GATHER(C, 1, 2, "a" = 1, "b" = 2)}; > // VS > x:A y:B{-> CREATE(C, 1, 2, "a" = x, "b" = y)};{noformat} > Some clarification would be great.
