Currently there's exactly one Selection in existence per Document. It would be
useful to allow authors to create additional selections that don't correspond
to the user-visible one. They could then use methods like modify() on it, we
could let them use execCommand() on it, etc. We could also let them save and
restore the selection this way, together with all its associated info (at least
direction).
Specifically, we might want Selection.cloneSelection(),
document.newSelection(), and document.replaceSelection() or something like
that.
