Support for Spanning or overlapping deletions

[tkmamidi]

Looks like the current version is ignoring star alleles. Is there a support for them in future releases? Not sure if there are databases that even support them.

We don't plan to annotate star alleles. They are mostly an artifact of large deletions and multi-sample vcfs. We are actively working on better support for annotating large deletions though.
