    def iscoextensive(self, start: int, end: int) -&gt; bool:
        &#34;&#34;&#34;
        Checks if this span is coextensive with the given span, annotation or
        annotation set, i.e. has exactly the same start and end offsets.

        Note: this can be called with an Annotation or AnnotationSet instead of `start` and `end`
          (see gatenlp._utils.support_annotation_or_set)
