So your proposal is to leave things as they are, except that we call
some of the things that we used to call a CAS a CasView. We're not
going to touch how indexing works, at least conceptually. We could
implement this proposal by simply making the CASImpl class implement the
CasView interface and we would be more or less done.
Is that a correct interpretation, or did I miss something?
Pretty much... the basic objective was to split CAS and CasView so it
would be apparent when you were looking at the "whole CAS" and when
you were looking at a view.
To clarify some specific differences between CAS and CasView:
* CasView doesn't have getView(...) methods
* CAS methods for sofa/index access are deprecated but forward to the
"current" view (contrast with the situation today where they just
don't work on the "base" CAS - returning null or throwing exceptions)
