There are functions to get iters for a particular GtkTextBuffer (they
don't have quite the same signature as in C):
iter = buffer.get_iter_at_line_offset(line_number, char_offset)
iter = buffer.get_iter_at_line_index(line_number, byte_index)
iter = buffer.get_iter_at_offset(char_offset)
iter = buffer.get_iter_at_line(line_number)
iter = buffer.get_end_iter()
start, end = buffer.get_bounds()
iter = buffer.get_iter_at_mark(mark)
GtkTextIters also have all the methods found in gtktextiter.h, so you can
also do things like copy an existing iter and move it.
