"Why does Range#surroundContents() throw if you split a non-text node? The
logic is already there for extractContents(), so why not use it?"

"It’s trivial to work around, but means that surroundContents() isn’t very
useful as currently specced."

The reason the specification suggests it is done (in a comment in the source)
because it might be unexpected to clone containers.

Should we change this?
