> We currently allow filtering of intervals by their total size, via the
> `Intervals.maxwidth` static method. This works well enough, but there are
> several cases where you might want to restrict the gap between two intervals,
> but don't necessarily know the total width. For example, if you want to know
> that an unordered pair `term1 term2` with no width restriction is less than
> two positions away from another term: there is no current way to construct an
> interval query that would return this.
> To enable this, I propose adding a `gaps()` method to IntervalIterator, which
> returns the number of internal gaps between the iterators constituent
> sub-iterators. Terms and phrases, would return 0, and ordered/unordered
> combinations would return the number of positions separating their immediate
> children. Note that this does not include the gaps within any of those
> children themselves.
