@class MPRangePath
@brief @c MPRangePath is like @c NSRange but with an @c NSIndexPath as
location.
@discussion Range paths are intended to address a range (as defined by @c
NSRange) that resides in a tree structure. Thus the @c location
property of a range path is a @c NSIndexPath.
@c MPRangePath instances are immutable.
