// Description: A part of abstract layer of TextOM.
//      Defines an abstraction for a TextRange.
//      As the whole abstract TextOM iot supports only read-only
//      positioning operations based on ITextPointer,
//      and a minimal editing capabilities - plain text
//      only.
//      It includes though rich (Xaml) level of serialization
//      support (read-only).
