text selection the provider should implement this method and also return
true for the SupportsTextSelection property below.  Otherwise this method

For providers that support multiple disjoint selection, this should return
an array of all the currently selected ranges. Providers that don't support
multiple disjoint selection should just return an array containing a single
range.</p>
