> 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.
