Right now, in order to get the covered text, one has to call cas.get_covered_text(annotation). That is not nice and different from Java.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use annotation.get_covered_text()
Additional context
If the annotation is a feature structure, i.e. does not cover text, an exception should be thrown.
