Nowadays only GtkEntry implements GtkEditable. So in cases where you have different text widgets and want for instance to select or paste text, you need to use widget specific functions.

I propose GtkTextView should implement GtkEditable.

Positions in GtkEditable are represented by a simple gint. It doesn't fit well with GtkTextIters. The positions can be converted with gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_at_offset() and gtk_text_iter_get_offset(), but using the gtk_editable functions that involve positions would not be really efficient.

So most of the interface would be useless.
