> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Reporter: Adam Lally
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Stale
>
> We've had this feature request from internal users and from an external user
> on the alphaWorks forum:
> http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?message=13880014&cat=28&thread=138315&treeDisplayType=threadmode1&forum=444#13880014
> The basic requirement is to find all annotations of a particular type whose
> span encompasses a specified annotation. For example: find the paragraph
> that spans this sentence. Or, find all NamedEntities that span this Token.
> We've discussed with users the idea of an AnnotationIndex.superiterator()
> method, and they seem to like that idea. This would be a complement to
> subiterator(). superiterator(xyz) would return annotations that covered
> annotation xyz.
