/*
 "character size" is the size of a UTF-8 character in bytes
 "character width" is the width of a Unicode character in pixels
 "column" was orginally defined as a character offset from the left margin.
 It was identical to the byte offset. In UTF-8, we have neither a byte offset
 nor truly fixed width fonts (*). Column could be a pixel value multiplied with
 an average character width (which is a bearable approximation).

 * in Unicode, there are no fixed width fonts! Even if the ASCII characters may
   happen to be all the same width in pixels, Chinese characters surely are not.
   There are plenty of exceptions, like ligatures, that make special handling of
   "fixed" character widths a nightmare. I decided to remove all references to
   fixed fonts and see "columns" as a multiple of the average width of a
   character in the main font.

/**
  \class Fl_Text_Selection
  \brief This is an internal class for Fl_Text_Buffer to manage text selections.

  All methods use byte (not UTF-8 character) offsets and start at 0. This
  class works correctly with UTF-8 strings assuming that the parameters
  for all calls are on character boundaries.

  If the selection is inactive (not currently used), then selected()
  returns \p false and start() and end() return 0 (zero).

  The stored offsets are in ascending order, hence the following conditions
  are true (pseudo code):
  \code
    if ( !selected() ) :  (start() == 0) && (end() == 0) && (start() == end())
    if (  selected() ) :  start() < end()
    always             :  0 <= start() <= end()
    always             :  length() == end() - start()
  \endcode

  The selection size in bytes can always (unconditionally) be computed by
  \code
    int size = sel->end() - sel->start();
  \endcode

  \see length()

  \note
    The \b protected member variables \p mStart and \p mEnd are not
    necessarily 0 (zero) if mSelected == \p false because they are
    not cleared when \p selected(false) is called (as of Jul 2017).
    This may be changed in the future.
