Description

The SHIFT action is really useful, but as currently implemented it creates a new annotation rather than extending the boundaries of the matched one (and re-indexing).

I have a patch that copies the old features over (which I'll attach shortly), adapted from CasCopier.

If the patch is not enough, at least the documentation for SHIFT needs to changed to warn about the current behavior.
