/**
* An {@code ISourceFragment} represents a fragment of source code.
*
* These are currently used only in MXML processing, where fragments are created for
* entities, comments, the beginning and end of CDATA, and the text between these.
*
* The "physical" properties of a fragment describe how it actually appears
* in the source code. For example, the physical text of an entity might be
* "<" and its physical starting offset, line number, and column number
* would indicate its position within an MXML document.
* Note that the physical end is the physical start plus the length
* of the physical text.
*
* The "logical" properties of a fragment describe what it means after MXML
* pre-processing (entity evaluation, CDATA removal, MXML comment removal).
