/**
 * \short A range that is bound to a specific Document, and maintains its
 *  position.
 *
 * \ingroup kte_group_moving_classes
 *
 * \section movingrange_intro Introduction
 *
 * A MovingRange is an extension of the basic Range class. It maintains its
 * position in the document. As a result of this, MovingRange%s may not be
 * copied, as they need to maintain a connection to the associated Document.
 *
 * Create a new MovingRange like this:
 * \code
 * // Retrieve the MovingInterface
 * KTextEditor::MovingInterface* moving =
 *     qobject_cast<KTextEditor::MovingInterface*>( yourDocument );
 *
 * if ( moving ) {
 *     KTextEditor::MovingRange* range = moving->newMovingRange();
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * When finished with a MovingRange, simply delete it.
 * If the document the cursor belong to is deleted, it will get deleted
 * automatically.
 *
 * \section movingrange_behavior Editing Behavior
 *
 * The insert behavior controls how the range reacts to characters inserted
 * at the range boundaries, i.e. at the start of the range or the end of the
 * range. Either the range boundary moves with text insertion, or it stays.
 * Use setInsertBehaviors() and insertBehaviors() to set and query the current
 * insert behavior.
 *
 * When the start() and end() Cursor of a range equal, isEmpty() returns true.
 * Further, the empty-behavior can be changed such that the start() and end()
 * Cursor%s of MovingRange%s that get empty are automatically set to (-1, -1).
 * Use setEmptyBehavior() and emptyBehavior() to control the empty behavior.
 *
 * \warning MovingRanges may be set to (-1, -1, -1, -1) at any time, if the
 * user reloads a document (F5)! Use a MovingRangeFeedback to get  notified
 * if you need to catch this case.
 * 
 * \section movingrange_feedback MovingRange Feedback
 *
 * With setFeedback() a feedback instance can be associated with the moving
 * range. The MovingRangeFeedback notifies about the following events:
 * - the text cursor (caret) entered the range,
 * - the text cursor (caret) left the range,
 * - the mouse cursor entered the range,
 * - the mouse cursor left the range,
 * - the range got empty, i.e. start() == end(),
 * - the range got invalid, i.e. start() == end() == (-1, -1).
 *
 * If a feedback is not needed anymore, call setFeedback(0).
 *
 * \section movingrange_details Working with Ranges
 *
 * There are several convenience methods that make working with MovingRanges
 * very simple. For instance, use isEmpty() to check if the start() Cursor
 * equals the end() Cursor. Use contains(), containsLine() or containsColumn()
 * to check whether the MovingRange contains a Range, a Cursor, a line or
 * column. The same holds for overlaps(), overlapsLine() and overlapsColumn().
 * Besides onSingleLine() returns whether a MovingRange spans only one line.
 *
 * For compatibility, a MovingRange can be explicitly converted to a simple
 * Range by calling toRange(), or implicitly by the Range operator.
 *
 * \section movingrange_highlighting Arbitrary Highlighting
 *
 * With setAttribute() highlighting Attribute%s can be assigned to a
 * MovingRange. By default, this highlighting is used in all views of a
 * document. Use setView(), if the highlighting should only appear in a
 * specific view. Further, if the additional highlighting should not be
 * printed call setAttributeOnlyForViews() with the parameter true.
