/**
 * @parent dom
 * @tag beta
 * 
 * Gets or sets the current text selection.
 * 
 * ## Getting
 * 
 * Gets the current selection in the context of an element.  For example:
 * 
 *     $('textarea').selection() // -> { .... }
 *     
 * returns an object with:
 * 
 *   - __start__ - The number of characters from the start of the element to the start of the selection.
 *   - __end__ - The number of characters from the start of the element to the end of the selection.
 *   - __range__ - A [jQuery.Range $.Range] that represents the current selection.
 * 
 * This lets you get the selected text in a textarea like:
 * 
 *     var textarea = $('textarea')
 *       selection = textarea.selection(),
 *       selected = textarea.val().substr(selection.start, selection.end);
 *       
 *     alert('You selected '+selected+'.');
 *     
 * Selection works with all elements.  If you want to get selection information of the document:
 * 
 *     $(document.body).selection();
 *     
 * ## Setting
 * 
 * By providing a start and end offset, you can select text within a given element.
 * 
 *     $('#rte').selection(30, 40)
 * 
 * ## Demo
 * 
 * This demo shows setting the selection in various elements
 * 
 * @demo jquery/dom/selection/selection.html
 * 
 * @param {Number} [start] Start of the range
 * @param {Number} [end] End of the range
 * @return {Object|jQuery} returns the selection information or the jQuery collection for
 * chaining.
