* unchanged, while the POINT will be shifted, now located after the inserted character and

* will hence be expanded to include the new character (when the span is using a MARK at
* its beginning or a POINT at its end) or it will be excluded.
*
* Note that before and after here refer to offsets in the String, which are
* independent from the visual representation of the text (left-to-right or right-to-left).
