I have a need for doing using payloads in a SpanOrQuery to influence the score. I noticed that there is no PayloadSpanOrQuery so I'd like to implement one. I couldn't find a ticket in JIRA for this so I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6706, if this feature exists I will gladly close the JIRA if someone could point me in the right direction.
