{- |
A SrcSpan delimits a portion of a text file.  It could be represented
by a pair of (line,column) coordinates, but in fact we optimise
slightly by using more compact representations for single-line and
zero-length spans, both of which are quite common.

The end position is defined to be the column /after/ the end of the
span.  That is, a span of (1,1)-(1,2) is one character long, and a
span of (1,1)-(1,1) is zero characters long.
