/**
 * \short A Range which is bound to a specific Document, and maintains its position.
 *
 * \ingroup kte_group_smart_classes
 *
 * A SmartRange is an extension of the basic Range class. It maintains its
 * position in the document and provides extra functionality,
 * including:
 * \li convenience functions for accessing and manipulating the content
 * of the associated document,
 * \li adjusting behavior in response to text edits,
 * \li forming a tree structure out of multiple SmartRange%s,
 * \li providing attribute information for the arbitrary highlighting extension,
 * \li allowing KAction%s to be bound to the range (note: not currently implemented), and
 * \li providing notification of changes to 3rd party software.
 *
 * As a result of a smart range's close association with a document, and the processing
 * that occurrs as a result, smart ranges may not be copied.
 *
 * For simplicity of code, ranges always maintain their start position to
 * be before or equal to their end position.  Attempting to set either the
 * start or end of the range beyond the respective end or start will result in
 * both values being set to the specified position.
 *
 * Hierarchical range-trees maintain specific relationships:
 * - When a child-range is changed, all parent-ranges are resized so the child-range fits in
 * - When a parent-range is changed, all child-ranges are resized so they fit in
 *
 * This means that parent-ranges always completely contain all their child-ranges. However
 * it may lead to unexpected range-changes from the perspective of your application, so keep
 * this in mind.
 *
 * The child-ranges of one smart-range are allowed to overlap each other. However overlaps
 * should be omitted where possible, for performance-reasons, and because each range can
 * be overlapped by max. 63 sibling-ranges while still rendering correctly.
 *
 * Create a new SmartRange like this:
 * \code
 * // Retrieve the SmartInterface
 * KTextEditor::SmartInterface* smart =
 *     qobject_cast<KTextEditor::SmartInterface*>( yourDocument );
 *
 * if ( smart ) {
 *     KTextEditor::SmartRange* range = smart->newSmartRange();
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * When finished with a SmartRange, simply delete it.
 *
 * \sa Range, SmartRangeNotifier, SmartRangeWatcher, and SmartInterface
