Module span 

Styled text runs.

A Span is a byte range over some rendered text plus the style to draw it with. Spans are the single currency between the parsers (markdown, the mIRC compat shim) and the layout engine: whatever the input vocabulary, the output is always a ParsedText.

The important property is that styling is resolved once, at append. xtext re-ran its mIRC state machine over every visible byte on every render pass (gtk_xtext_render_str, xtext.c:3292) and separately built an ent->slp run list at append that the render path then ignored. Here there is one representation, produced once.
