/* NOTES:  previous- and next- property change will have to skip
  zero-length intervals if they are implemented.  This could be done
  inside next_interval and previous_interval.

  set_properties needs to deal with the interval property cache.

  It is assumed that for any interval plist, a property appears
  only once on the list.  Although some code i.e., remove_properties,
  handles the more general case, the uniqueness of properties is
  neccessary for the system to remain consistent.  This requirement
  is enforced by the subrs installing properties onto the intervals. */

/* Extract the interval at the position pointed to by BEGIN from
   OBJECT, a string or buffer.  Additionally, check that the positions
   pointed to by BEGIN and END are within the bounds of OBJECT, and
   reverse them if *BEGIN is greater than *END.  The objects pointed
   to by BEGIN and END may be integers or markers; if the latter, they
   are coerced to integers.

   When OBJECT is a string, we increment *BEGIN and *END
   to make them origin-one.

   Note that buffer points don't correspond to interval indices.
   For example, point-max is 1 greater than the index of the last
   character.  This difference is handled in the caller, which uses
   the validated points to determine a length, and operates on that.
   Exceptions are Ftext_properties_at, Fnext_property_change, and
   Fprevious_property_change which call this function with BEGIN == END.
   Handle this case specially.

   If FORCE is soft (0), it's OK to return NULL_INTERVAL.  Otherwise,
   create an interval tree for OBJECT if one doesn't exist, provided
   the object actually contains text.  In the current design, if there
   is no text, there can be no text properties.  */
