    ## Moving a 0-width range over a non 0-width range.
    ## Note that when the end of the 0-width range is equal to the start of
    ## the non 0-width range minus 1, returning code -5 (which describes
    ## a situation of adjacent ranges) seems appropriate.
    ## However, one could argue that returning code -1 (which describes a
    ## situation where one range is inside the other) would also be
    ## appropriate, because, in that case, the two ranges have the same start.
    ## So the question really is whether the 0-width range should be considered
    ## *outside* or *inside* the non 0-width range.
    ## It's an arbitrary choice and we chose the former.
