/**
 * A   buffer changed event describes how a buffer has changed. These events are
 * used in <code>IBufferChangedListener</code> notifications.
 * <p>
 * For text insertions, <code>getOffset</code> is the offset
 * of the first inserted character, <code>getText</code> is the
 * inserted text, and <code>getLength</code> is 0.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For text removals, <code>getOffset</code> is the offset
 * of the first removed character, <code>getText</code> is <code>null</code>,
 * and <code>getLength</code> is the length of the text that was removed.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For replacements (including <code>IBuffer.setContents</code>), 
 * <code>getOffset</code> is the offset
 * of the first replaced character, <code>getText</code> is the replacement
 * text, and <code>getLength</code> is the length of the original text
 * that was replaced.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * When a buffer is closed, <code>getOffset</code> is 0, <code>getLength</code>
 * is 0, and <code>getText</code> is <code>null</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class is not intended to be instantiated or subclassed by clients.
 * Instances of this class are automatically created by the C model.
 * </p>
 *
 * @see IBuffer
 * This class is similar to the JDT BufferChangedEvent class.
