/**
 * In addition to the text viewer functionality a source viewer supports:
 * <ul>
 * <li>visual annotations based on an annotation model
 * <li>visual range indication
 * <li>management of text viewer add-ons
 * <li>explicit configuration
 * </ul>
 * It is assumed that range indication and visual annotations are shown inside
 * the same presentation area. There are no assumptions about whether this area
 * is different from the viewer's text widget.
 * <p>
 * As the visibility of visual annotations can dynamically be changed, it is
 * assumed that the annotation presentation area can dynamically be hidden if it
 * is different from the text widget.
 * <p>
 * In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of
 * <code>ISourceViewer</code>, extension interfaces are used as a means of
 * evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link org.eclipse.jface.text.source.ISourceViewerExtension} since version 2.1
 * introducing the concept of an annotation overview.</li>
 * <li>{@link org.eclipse.jface.text.source.ISourceViewerExtension2} since version 3.0
 * allowing source viewers to roll back a previously performed configuration and
 * allows access to the viewer's visual annotation model.</li>
 * <li>{@link org.eclipse.jface.text.source.ISourceViewerExtension3} since version 3.2
 * introducing the concept of a quick assist assistant and providing access
 * to the quick assist invocation context as well as the current annotation hover.</li>
 * <li>{@link org.eclipse.jface.text.source.ISourceViewerExtension4} since version 3.4
 * introducing API to access a minimal set of content assistant APIs.</li>
 * </ul></p>
 * <p>
 * Clients may implement this interface and its extension interfaces or use the
 * default implementation provided by
 * {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.source.SourceViewer}.</p>
