/** Typedefed as Gtk::TextBuffer::Mark. A position in the buffer, preserved across buffer modifications.
 *
 * A Mark is like a bookmark in a text buffer; it preserves a position in the text.  Unlike iterators, marks remain valid across buffer mutations, because
 * their behavior is defined when text is inserted or deleted. When text containing a mark is deleted, the mark remains in
 * the position originally occupied by the deleted text. When text is inserted at a mark, a mark with left gravity will be
 * moved to the beginning of the newly-inserted text, and a mark with right gravity will be moved to the end.
 * The standard text cursor in left-to-right languages is a mark with right gravity, because it stays to the right of inserted
 * text.
 *
 * Like tags, marks can be either named or anonymous. There are two marks built-in to Gtk::TextBuffer; these are named "insert" and
 * "selection_bound" and refer to the insertion point and the boundary of the selection which is not the insertion point,
 * respectively. If no text is selected, these two marks will be in the same position. You can manipulate what is selected and
 * where the cursor appears by moving these marks around.
 *
 * "left" and "right" here refer to logical direction (left is the toward the start of the buffer); in some languages such as
 * Hebrew the logically-leftmost text is not actually on the left when displayed.
 *
 * You can convert the mark to an @link Gtk::TextIter iterator@endlink or
 * a @link Gtk::TextConstIter const_iterator@endlink using Gtk::TextBuffer::get_iter_at_mark().
 *
 * Marks can be deleted from the buffer at any time with Gtk::TextBuffer::delete_mark(). Once deleted from the buffer, a mark is essentially useless.
 *
 * Marks optionally have names; these can be convenient to avoid passing the Gtk::TextBuffer::Mark object around.
 *
 * Marks are typically created using the Gtk::TextBuffer::create_mark() function.
