----------------------------------------

(following on discussion at 
[LUCENE-8776|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8776?focusedCommentId=16829561&#comment-16829561]):
 [~mikemccand], agreed that for query-time cases, graphs can and should be 
handled as you say.

But functionality that relies on reconstituting _index_-time token graphs (as 
produced by synonym-/WDGF-type analysis) would require position length to be 
stored in the index (and reported back via PostingsEnum at query-time), no? And 
per [~rcmuir]'s suggestion above, the only way to do this currently would be by 
encoding position length in Payloads.

My question is a more general one about the utility of indexing position 
length, and whether anyone would be interested in considering integrating full 
support for indexed token graphs.

> Indexer ignores PositionLengthAttribute.Need change the index format (and
