/**
* Represents a location within a document. It is intended to abstract away
* implementation details of the document and enable specification of
* positions within the document that are capable of tracking of change as
* the document is edited.
* <p>
* A {@code Position} object points at a location between two characters.
* As the surrounding content is altered, the {@code Position} object
* adjusts its offset automatically to reflect the changes. If content is
* inserted or removed before the {@code Position} object's location, then the
* {@code Position} increments or decrements its offset, respectively,
* so as to point to the same location. If a portion of the document is removed
* that contains a {@code Position}'s offset, then the {@code Position}'s
* offset becomes that of the beginning of the removed region. For example, if
* a {@code Position} has an offset of 5 and the region 2-10 is removed, then
* the {@code Position}'s offset becomes 2.
* <p>
* {@code Position} with an offset of 0 is a special case. It never changes its
* offset while document content is altered.
