/**
This structure represents a single text selection within an accessibility
subtree. This could be within a document, or the subtree of a document. This
selection is defined by two points in the content, where each one is defined by
an accessible object supporting the IAccessibleTextInterface and an
IAccessibleText character offset relative to it.
The end object must appear after the start object in the accessibility tree,
i.e. the end object must be reachable from the start object by navigating
forward (next, first child etc).
This struct also contains a `startIsActive` boolean, to communicate if the
start of the selection is the active point or not.
The active point corresponds to the user's focus or point of interest. The user
moves the active point to expand or collapse the range. The anchor point is
the other point of the range and typically remains constant. In most cases,
anchor is the start of the range and active is the end. However, when selecting
backwards (e.g. pressing shift+left arrow in a text field), the start of the
range is the active point, as the user moves this to manipulate the selection.
