Resolve "Text data type does not delete as expected"

[jbdyn]

Essentially, I adjust the conditions for range lengths such that they align with the signature of the remove_range method of TextRef in Yrs.

Additionally, I review convenience methods for text manipulation replace_range, remove_range, insert, and clear, inspired by the blog post of Darren Burns

Thanks for opening a PR.
What do you mean by "Text data type does not delete as expected"? Can you add a test showing that it solves an issue?

[jbdyn]

Sure!

I added an example in the corresponding issue and I am about to write tests atm.

Do you agree with the extra methods I added? Maybe I should show these changes in an extra PR. 🤔

[davidbrochart]

I didn't see the issue, sorry.
I'll have a look next week.
