Returns the mark that represents the selection bound. Equivalent
to calling TextBuffer.getMark to get the mark named
“selection_bound”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves
less typing.
The currently-selected text in buffer is the region between the
“selection_bound” and “insert” marks. If “selection_bound” and
“insert” are in the same place, then there is no current selection.
TextBuffer.getSelectionBounds is another convenient function
for handling the selection, if you just want to know whether there’s a
selection and what its bounds are.
