I would propose the following changes:
- Leave createFeaturePath() and friends at the CAS. These methods
require/return CAS-specific data structures and don't need to be
accessible anywhere else.
- On CasView, remove getJCasView() and getLowLevelCasView(). Those
should be accessed from the JCas and LowLevelCas, respectively.
- Similarly, on JCasView, remove getCasView() and getLowLevelCasView().
- On the JCas interface, can we remove some of the APIs and just make
them available on the impl object? I'm thinking of things like
putJfsFromCaddr(int, FeatureStructure) and getType(int).
