Is there a QuerParser which can parse query string to SpanNotQuery?

Description

It seems org.apache.lucene.queryparser.surround.parser.QueryParser just parse query string to NotQuery (BooleanQuery).

Though ComplexPhraseQueryParser can rewrite query to span queries in some cases. But, must_not clause will be rewritten to ConstantScoreQuery in BooleanQuery#rewrite, rather than a SpanNotQuery in ComplexPhraseQueryParser#rewrite. So, how to write the querystring if we want a SpanNotQuery from ComplexPhraseQueryParser or other QuerParser?

sure

lucene/lucene/queryparser/src/java/org/apache/lucene/queryparser/xml/builders/SpanNotBuilder.java

Line 45 in 2bae327

return new SpanNotQuery(include, exclude);

Note: nested spans are error prone, Intervals is a way to go with.
