This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks
simultaneously.
If you move them in two steps with
gtk.text_buffer.TextBuffer.moveMark, you will temporarily select a
region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty
inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff
to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can
be optimized.
