Failing to understand the oddities of the "line" chunk

[Geoff Canyon]

I understand that this is what the engine returns when the selection is
empty, and I'm prepared to accept it as a necessary method for the engine
to describe an empty insertion point, but just because the engine reports
char 13 to 12 doesn't mean the engine should accept setting the selection
to char 47 to 26, or to word 9 to 3, or line 7 to 4. The engine returns one
exact format, and allowing it to accept that one exact format should be all
it does. There's no reason other than bad history to do so.
