/**

 * <p>
 *   The NSRange type is used to specify ranges of locations,
 *   typically items in an array, characters in a string, and bytes
 *   in a data object.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   As 'boundary' or 'fencepost' errors are a particularly common
 *   problem in programming, it is important that you understand
 *   how an NSRange works.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   An NSRange consists of a <em>location</em> and a <em>length</em>.  The
 *   points that are considered to lie in a range are the integers from
 *   the location to the location plus the length, so the number
 *   of points in a range is the length of the range plus one.<br />
 *   However, if you consider these points like the marks on a
 *   ruler, you can only store information <strong>between</strong>
 *   points.  So the number of items that can be stored in a range
 *   is the length of the range.
 * </p>
