Description

Right now we have prefix and widlcard for multiterm Intervals. Sometimes it's necessary to provide terms set in a more generic way as automaton.

Intervals.multiterm(CompiledAutomaton automaton, int maxExpansions, String pattern)

As a benefit we can handle it more efficient rather than or over terms. 

What do you think?
