This structure represents a single text selection within a document. This
selection is defined by two points in the content, where each one is defined
by an AtkObject supporting the AtkText interface and a character offset
relative to it.
The end object must appear after the start object in the accessibility tree,
i.e. the end object must be reachable from the start object by navigating
forward (next, first child etc).
This struct also contains a @start_is_active boolean, to communicate if the
start of the selection is the active point or not.
The active point corresponds to the user's focus or point of interest. The
user moves the active point to expand or collapse the range. The anchor
point is the other point of the range and typically remains constant. In
most cases, anchor is the start of the range and active is the end. However,
when selecting backwards (e.g. pressing shift+left arrow in a text field),
the start of the range is the active point, as the user moves this to
manipulate the selection.
