Subject: Set::IntSpan::Fast description clarity

From: Kevin Ryde <user42 [...] zip.com.au>
I had a slightly hard time following the introductory description part of the Set::IntSpan::Fast pod docs. It was only on about the sixth reading I realized the first paragraph is about plain Set::IntSpan, which until then had me very confused about what's fast about "Fast". I see of course the first para does say "Set::IntSpan", but with the similar names I didn't twig that the description of one module began with a description of another! :-) As a suggestion I think it could be clearer to start with what IntSpan::Fast is (array of ranges, binary search for most inclusion testing), then say how it differs from plain IntSpan (linear searches for everything, is it?).
Yes, you're absolutely correct, thanks. I've amended the introductory paragraph and there'll be a new version on its way to CPAN within the hour :)
