Research direction
Start by reading issue #4758 and the attached spans-offsets.patch, then compare how term offsets are exposed through DocsAndPositionsEnum with the Spans entry point. The work is complete when equivalent term-offset information is available through Spans and the relevant existing tests cover it.
