Well, the concrete may not have quite set yet... but here goes: 1. Goals The following are confusing (or some might say, broken) (a) the interface CAS can be an interface to either the whole CAS or to a view. Methods like this are poor: CAS view = cas.getView(name); (b) the logic

More on hierarchies of implementation objects, and saving the user from writing dereferencing chains: Suppose we divide the CAS methods into those which would just not make sense on the CasView API, and others. In the same spirit of pleasing the users by avoiding what they could see as

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
