When they are intersecting the following span could be longer, thats
right. To keep things simple
I suggested to always keep the first span.

well that sounds a bit arbitrary don't you think? It sounds like
flipping a coin!
also I'm not talking about span length here...if the types are
different it makes no sense to compare lengths...the chances of any of
them being the correct one are equal...if we always keep the earliest
one it is easy to implement but we're hard-coding something with no
good justification...see what i mean?

I wish there was a way to keep both...
