#' Interact with Documents open in RStudio
#'
#' Use these functions to interact with documents open in RStudio.
#'
#' @param location An object specifying the positions, or ranges, wherein text
#'   should be inserted. See \bold{Details} for more information.
#'
#' @param text A character vector, indicating what text should be inserted at
#'   each aforementioned range. This should either be length one (in which case,
#'   this text is applied to each range specified); otherwise, it should be the
#'   same length as the \code{ranges} list.
#'
#' @param id The document id. When \code{NULL} or blank, the requested operation
#'   will apply to the currently open, or last focused, RStudio document.
#'
#' @param position The cursor position, typically created through
#'   \code{\link{document_position}()}.
#'
#' @param ranges A list of one or more ranges, typically created
#'   through \code{\link{document_range}()}.
#'
#' @param type The type of document to be created.
#'
#' @param execute Should the code be executed after the document
#'   is created?
#'   
#' @param allowConsole Allow the pseudo-id `#console` to be returned, if the \R
#'   console is currently focused? Set this to `FALSE` if you'd always like to
#'   target the currently-active or last-active editor in the Source pane.
#'
#' @details
#'
#' \code{location} should be a (list of) \code{\link{document_position}} or
#' \code{\link{document_range}} object(s), or numeric vectors coercable to
#' such objects.
#'
#' To operate on the current selection in a document, call \code{insertText()}
#' with only a text argument, e.g.
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'     insertText("# Hello\\n")
#'     insertText(text = "# Hello\\n")
#' }
#'
#' Otherwise, specify a (list of) positions or ranges, as in:
#'
#' \preformatted{
#'     # insert text at the start of the document
#'     insertText(c(1, 1), "# Hello\\n")
#'
#'     # insert text at the end of the document
#'     insertText(Inf, "# Hello\\n")
#'
#'     # comment out the first 5 rows
#'     pos <- Map(c, 1:5, 1)
#'     insertText(pos, "# ")
#'
#'     # uncomment the first 5 rows, undoing the previous action
#'     rng <- Map(c, Map(c, 1:5, 1), Map(c, 1:5, 3))
#'     modifyRange(rng, "")
#' }
#'
#' \code{modifyRange} is a synonym for \code{insertText}, but makes its intent
#' clearer when working with ranges, as performing text insertion with a range
#' will replace the text previously existing in that range with new text. For
#' clarity, prefer using \code{insertText} when working with
#' \code{\link{document_position}}s, and \code{modifyRange} when working with
#' \code{\link{document_range}}s.
#'
#' @note
#' The \code{insertText}, \code{modifyRange} and \code{setDocumentContents}
#' functions were added with version 0.99.796 of RStudio.
#'
#' The \code{setCursorPosition} and \code{setSelectionRanges} functions were
#' added with version 0.99.1111 of RStudio.
#'
#' The \code{documentSave} and \code{documentSaveAll} functions were added
#' with version 1.1.287 of RStudio.
#' 
#' The \code{documentId} and \code{documentPath} functions were added with
#' version 1.4.843 of RStudio.

#' Retrieve Information about an RStudio Editor

#'
#' @note The \code{documentClose} function was introduced in RStudio 1.2.1255
#'
#' @details
#'
#' \code{documentClose} accepts an ID of an open document rather than a path.
#' You can retrieve the ID of the active document using the \code{documentId()}
#' function.
#'
#' Closing is always done non-interactively; that is, no prompts are given to
#' the user. If the user has made changes to the document but not saved them,
#' then the \code{save} parameter governs the behavior: when \code{TRUE},
#' unsaved changes are committed, and when \code{FALSE} they are discarded.
