/**
 * Extension interface for {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewer}. Defines
 * a conceptual replacement of the original visible region concept. This interface
 * replaces {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewerExtension3}.
 * <p>
 * Introduces the explicit concept of model and widget coordinates. For example,
 * a selection returned by the text viewer's control is a widget selection. A
 * widget selection always maps to a certain range of the viewer's document.
 * This range is considered the model selection.
 * <p>
 * All model ranges that have a corresponding widget ranges are considered
 * "exposed model ranges". The viewer can be requested to expose a given model
 * range. Thus, a visible region is a particular degeneration of exposed model
 * ranges.
 * <p>
 * This interface allows implementers to follow a sophisticated presentation
 * model in which the visible presentation is a complex projection of the
 * viewer's input document.
 *
