/**
 * \short An object which represents a position in a Document.
 *
 * A Cursor is a basic class which contains the line() and column() a position
 * in a Document. It is very lightweight and maintains no affiliation with a
 * particular Document.
 *
 * If you want additional functionality such as the ability to maintain position
 * in a document, see SmartCursor.
 *
 * \note The Cursor class is designed to be passed via value, while SmartCursor
 * and derivatives must be passed via pointer or reference as they maintain a
 * connection with their document internally and cannot be copied.
 *
 * \note Lines and columns start at 0.
 *
 * \note Think of cursors as having their position at the start of a character,
 *       not in the middle of one.
 *
 * \note If a Cursor is associated with a Range the Range will be notified
 *       whenever the cursor (i.e. start or end position) changes its position.
 *       Read the class documentation about Range%s for further details.
