ScriptDocument
A ScriptDocument instance is a proxy of the document of a Studio Script Editor. It's different from the LuaSourceContainer open in the editor in that it represents the ephemeral state of an open document, and its representation is in a format that's more suited for reading and editing code than executing it. In particular, ScriptDocument reflects any changes that have been made to the open script in Drafts Mode, which the source property doesn't.
The Script Editor itself exists and changes on a different thread than any DataModel, so the ScriptDocument replicates the open Script Editor, but it isn't the open editor. Because of the replication, there's sometimes a slight delay between changing the text in the editor and updating the ScriptDocument. The delay usually occurs because the DataModel is busy, and it's almost always extremely small, but it still exists.
The existence of a ScriptDocument indicates that a document is open in the Script Editor. All ScriptDocument instances have ScriptEditorService as its parent. Each instance adheres to the following encoding conventions:
- All text in ScriptDocument is UTF-8 encoded.
- All line indices are 1-indexed.
- All character indices are 1-indexed and count UTF-8 bytes, not graphemes, so the same warning from TextBox.CursorPosition applies: many Unicode characters take more than one byte.
- All ranges are inclusive of their start position and exclusive of their end position, so start == end implies an empty range.
All APIs for ScriptDocument are at Plugin level security.

IsCommandBar
Returns true if the ScriptDocument represents the Command bar. The command bar has special rules and limitations in this API:
- Studio creates the Command bar before running plugins, so it doesn't always fire the opened event, although it does close and reopen as Studio transitions between DataModels.
- You can't edit the Command bar with EditTextAsync for security reasons.

CloseAsync
Requests that the editor associated with this document close. Yields the current thread until the editor responds to the request. If the function succeeds, it returns (true, nil). If the function fails, it returns (false, string) as a description of the problem.

EditTextAsync
Replaces the text in the specified range from (startLine, startColumn) to (endLine, endColumn) with newText. If the range is empty, then the function inserts the text at (startLine, startColumn). If the text cursor is within the specified range, the cursor moves to the end position of the edit. Otherwise, the text cursor doesn't move. This function yields the current thread until it receives a reply from the editor about the edit.
If the function succeeds, it returns (true, nil).
The function throws an error if:
- The range is invalid.
- The range would slice a unicode character (e.g., replacing only some of the bytes of the unicode character).
- The newText itself contains invalid UTF-8.
If the function fails, it returns (false, string). The string is a description of the problem. The most common failure type is a version mismatch. This occurs when you try to call EditTextAsync during the time when the ScriptDocument is out of sync with the contents of the editor. If this happens, you can retry the edit.

ForceSetSelectionAsync
Asks the editor to set its cursor selection to the argument values. Both anchor arguments must be passed, or neither. If neither is passed, then they each default to being the same as the corresponding cursor argument. The editor might decline to update its cursor if the text content of the document has changed. Unlike ScriptDocument:RequestSetSelectionAsync(), the editor will not decline to move its cursor if the cursor has moved since the request was made. Returns (true, nil) if the cursor was updated, and (false, string) with an explanation string if it was not. Yields the current thread until the editor replies.
