Description
Sometimes you want to find an instance of a span which does not hit near some other span query. SpanNotQuery only excludes exact hits on the term, but sometimes you want to exclude hits 1 away from the first, and other times you might want the range to be wider.
So a SpanNotNearQuery could be useful.
SpanNotQuery is actually very close, and adding slop+inOrder support to it is probably sufficient to make a SpanNotNearQuery. :)
There appears to be one project which has done it in this fashion, although this particular code looks like it's out of date:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading SpanNotQuery and the linked issue #6155 to understand the proposed SpanNotNearQuery behavior. Determine how slop and inOrder should apply to excluded span hits, then identify the relevant span-query tests and add coverage showing the supported distance and ordering cases. Done means the new query behavior is defined, implemented, and tested.
