Mike Sokolov commented on LUCENE-4312:
--------------------------------------

Yes, we're compromising precision today when we apply index-time synonyms (and 
other analysis that produces token graphs). I think this would be an awesome 
addition If the cost of indexing position length in postings is not too great, 
and I think you are right -- it will usually be 1, sometimes 0 and rarely > 1, 
so we should be able to encode compactly, and decode efficiently.

> Indexer ignores PositionLengthAttribute.Need change the index format (and 
> Codec APIs) to store an additional int position length per position.
