/**
* <h2>Intervals queries</h2>
*
* This package contains experimental classes to search over intervals within fields
*
* <h2>IntervalsSource</h2>
*
* The {@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.IntervalsSource} class can be used to construct proximity
* relationships between terms and intervals. They can be built using static methods
* in the {@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals} class
*
* <h3>Basic intervals</h3>
*
* <ul>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#term(String)} &mdash; Represents a single term</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#phrase(java.lang.String...)} &mdash; Represents a phrase</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#ordered(IntervalsSource...)}
* &mdash; Represents an interval over an ordered set of terms or intervals</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#unordered(IntervalsSource...)}
* &mdash; Represents an interval over an unordered set of terms or intervals</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#or(IntervalsSource...)}
* &mdash; Represents the disjunction of a set of terms or intervals</li>
* </ul>
*
* <h3>Filters</h3>
*
* <ul>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#maxwidth(int, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Filters out intervals that are larger than a set width</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#maxgaps(int, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Filters out intervals that have more than a set number of gaps between their constituent sub-intervals</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#containedBy(IntervalsSource, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Returns intervals that are contained by another interval</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#notContainedBy(IntervalsSource, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Returns intervals that are *not* contained by another interval</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#containing(IntervalsSource, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Returns intervals that contain another interval</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#notContaining(IntervalsSource, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Returns intervals that do not contain another interval</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#nonOverlapping(IntervalsSource, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Returns intervals that do not overlap with another interval</li>
* <li>{@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.Intervals#notWithin(IntervalsSource, int, IntervalsSource)}
* &mdash; Returns intervals that do not appear within a set number of positions of another interval</li>
* </ul>
*
* <h2>IntervalQuery</h2>
*
* An {@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.IntervalQuery} takes a field name and an {@link org.apache.lucene.queries.intervals.IntervalsSource},
* and matches all documents that contain intervals defined by the source in that field.
