Re: [w3c/selection-api] Specify Selection.modify()? (#37)

It seems this will also be useful for doing measurements, for example to create beforeinput events in JavaScript. The only odd aspect to it there is that one needs to be OK with losing the selection temporarily in order to do the measurement [1], but I guess that's not a major cause for concern? Is there any reason why this is part of selections rather than ranges? If one could extend ranges like this, one could use it both for selection and for measurement purposes without losing the selection.
