'Declaration
Public Structure Span
public struct Span
public value class Span
[<Sealed>]
type Span = struct end
JScript supports the use of structures, but not the declaration of new ones.
The Span type exposes the following members.

Remarks
This structure represents an immutable integer interval that describes a range of values, from Start to End. It is closed on the left and open on the right: [Start .. End). In the context of an ITextSnapshot it represents a span of text, but the span structure itself is independent of any particular text buffer or snapshot.
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
