/**
 * Extension interface to <code>ITextViewer</code>. Defines a complete
 * replacement of all visible region related methods defined in
 * <code>ITextViewer</code>.
 * <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 set of exposed model ranges can be defined to
 * contain only a single region using <code>setExposedModelRange</code>. The
 * viewer can be requested to expose a given model range.<p>

 * @since 3.0
