wow, writer can do that?

the anchor is between "u" and "m" so it is not at the end of the paragraph so
it is included in the selection.

now the anchor is after "m" at the end of the paragraph so it is not included
in the selection.

now this moves entire nodes, so anything attached to the node will move with it
(except things that span multiple nodes, then it gets complicated and maybe
crash prone...).

generally anything in writer is either a character itself or positioned
*between* 2 characters; "as-char" is an example of the former, "at-char" an
example of the latter, and "at-para"/"at-fly"/"at-page" are weird exceptions.
