/**
* An object for encapsulating a caret and a selection in a given area where the caret and selection are bound
* to one another.
*
* In other words, selecting some range in the area (via {@link #selectRangeExpl(int, int)},
* {@link #selectRange(int, int, int, int)}) will move the caret in the same call, except if one uses
* {@link #displaceSelection(int, int)}. Updating the selection via any method with an "update" prefix from
* {@link Selection} will also move the caret if it has been {@link #displaceCaret(int) displaced} or the anchor is
* not the boundary (i.e. the selection's the start or end position) that is being updated.
*
* Likewise, moving the caret via the "move" prefix methods from {@link Caret}
* will clear the selection in the same call, except if one uses {@link #displaceCaret(int)}.
*
*
* "Position" refers to the place in-between characters. In other words, every {@code "|"} in
* {@code "|t|e|x|t|"} is a valid position. There are two kinds of positions used here:
*
* -
* {@link #getStartPosition()}/{@link #getEndPosition()}, which refers to a position somewhere in the
* entire area's content. It's bounds are {@code 0 <= x <= area.getLength()}.
*
* -
* {@link #getStartColumnPosition()}/{@link #getEndColumnPosition()}, which refers to a position
* somewhere in the current paragraph. It's bounds are {@code 0 <= x <= area.getParagraphLength(index)}.
*
*
*
* Note: when parameter names are "position" without the "column" prefix, they refer to the position in the entire area.
*
*
* The selection is typically made using the {@link #getAnchorPosition() anchor's position} and
* the underlying {@link Caret#getPosition() caret's position}. Hence, {@link #selectRangeExpl(int, int)}
* is the typical method to use, although {@link #selectRange(int, int)} can also be used.
*
*
*
* For type safety, {@link #getSelectedDocument()} requires the same generic types from {@link StyledDocument}.
* This means that one must write a lot of boilerplate for the generics:
* {@code CaretSelectionBind, StyledText>, Collection> selection}.
* However, this is only necessary if one is using {@link #getSelectedDocument()} or
* {@link #selectedDocumentProperty()}. If you are not going to use the "selectedDocument" getter or property,
* then just write the much simpler {@code CaretSelectionBind selection}.
*
*
* @see Caret
* @see Selection
*
* @param type for {@link StyledDocument}'s paragraph style; only necessary when using the "selectedDocument"
* getter or property
* @param type for {@link StyledDocument}'s segment type; only necessary when using the "selectedDocument"
* getter or property
* @param type for {@link StyledDocument}'s segment style; only necessary when using the "selectedDocument"
* getter or property
