> It can be useful to report intervals from one fields as if they came from 
> another.  For example, fast prefix searches can be implemented by indexing 
> text into two fields, one with the full terms and one with edge-ngrams 
> enabled; to do proximity searches against terms and prefixes, you could wrap 
> a term query against the ngrammed field so that its intervals appear to come 
> from the normal field, and use it an an ordered or unordered interval.
> This is analogous to the FieldMaskingSpanQuery, but has the advantage that we 
> don't use term statistics for scoring interval queries, so there is no issue 
> with mixing up field weights from different fields.
