 `gsl::span` is a replacement for `(pointer, length)` pairs to refer to a sequence of contiguous objects. It can be thought of as a pointer to an array, but that knows its bounds.
 
-For example, a `span<int,7>` refers to a sequence of seven contiguous `int`s.
+For example, a `span<int,7>` refers to a sequence of seven contiguous integers.
 
 A `span` does not own the elements it points to. It is not a container like an `array` or a `vector`, it is a view into the contents of such a container.

-Comparing two `span<T>`s compares the `T` values. To compare two `span`s for identity, to see if they're pointing to the same thing, use `.data()`.
