Research direction

Begin by reading issues #32 and #51 to understand the related selection and bidi-level requirements. Clarify how caret affiliation should be exposed and how the optional setting should behave before identifying the Selection API specification sections and tests that would need updating. Done means the behavior and API shape are specified and covered by tests.

Description

NewAPI

We need to expose information as to which bidi-level (LTR or RTL or both) the caret is associated with visually, as well as an API to specify it (e.g. add an optional argument to setPosition and collapse).

Also see issues #32 and #51.
