 * Description of a change between two or three ranges of comparable entities.

 * <code>RangeDifference</code> objects are the elements of a compare result returned from
 * the <code>RangeDifferencer</code> <code>find* </code> methods.
 * Clients use these objects as they are returned from the differencer.
 * This class is not intended to be instantiated or subclassed.
 * <p>
 * Note: A range in the <code>RangeDifference</code> object is given as a start index
 * and length in terms of comparable entities. However, these entity indices and counts
 * are not necessarily character positions. For example, if an entity represents a line
 * in a document, the start index would be a line number and the count would be in lines.
