+/**
+ * @fileoverview An interface (and partial implementation) for the basic
+ * traversal through some piece of the dom.
+ * For each different ordered (either in dom or by any other metric) set
+ * of "valid selections" (just set from now on), a new
+ * base class should be defined that implements this interface. For example,
+ * there are subclasses for words, sentences, and lowest-level dom nodes.
+ * These classes should all be stateless; this makes testing much more
+ * effective at pinpointing errors.
+ * For all of the operations in this interface, the position in the dom on
+ * which to operate is given by a CursorSelection, see that file for
+ * documentation.
+ * The two main operations that currently exist for walkers are sync and
+ * next. See the docs where those functions are defined.
+ * Since most operations are hard to even define if there is no root element,
+ * all operations may assume that the selection given is attached to the body
+ * node. The behavior is undefined if any part of the selection passed in
+ * is not attached to the body. As a user of this class, it is your
+ * responsibility to make sure the selection is attached.
+ * No operation may visibly modify any of its arguments. In particular, take
+ * care with CursorSelections, since setReversed modifies the selection.
+ * For all documentation, = refers to the method equals for CursorSelections
+ * comparison.
+ * Thinking of adding something in this class? Here are some good questions to
+ * ask:
+ * Is this an operation that applies to any element of any arbitrary set?
+ * If not, then it probably doesn't belong here.
+ * Does it need to know something other than the set that it operates on?
+ * If so, then it probably doesn't belong here.
+ *
+ * This interface resembles a C++ STL bidirectional iterator. Additions should
+ * keep this in mind.
