* As a result, inserting a new character between a MARK and a POINT will leave the MARK
* unchanged, while the POINT will be shifted, now located after the inserted character and
* still glued to the same character after it.

* Depending on whether the insertion happens at the beginning or the end of a span, the span
* 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).
