[Biojava-l] FeatureFilter.AndNot

[Thomas Down]

Posting this to biojava-l rather than biojava-dev, to get
maximum visibility...

Does anyone use the FeatureFilter.AndNot class anywhere?
This is redundant in that:

   new FeatureFilter.AndNot(foo, bar)

Could be expressed as:

   new FeatureFilter.And(foo, new FeatureFilter.Not(bar));

It's really a leftover from an old attempt to provide
a general-purpose optimization framework for the FeatureFilter
language.  Since that was never completed, this class appears
to be cruft, and it now just interferes with the more recent
FeatureFilter optimization strategies which ARE being actively
used.

So...  has anyone, anywhere, actually written code which
relies on this?  If I don't here anything by tommorow, it'll
be gone in 1.3.

     Thomas.
