I particularly like how in Acme, when selection is zero-width ("empty"), it is the cursor. Conversely selection can be extended from cursor in any direction. As a side effect, this greatly simplifies the API for manipulating both.

What is Acme in this context? Id like to get an idea of what you mean.
