/**
 * <code>NavigationFilter</code> can be used to restrict where the cursor can
 * be positioned. When the default cursor positioning actions attempt to
 * reposition the cursor they will call into the
 * <code>NavigationFilter</code>, assuming
 * the <code>JTextComponent</code> has a non-null
 * <code>NavigationFilter</code> set. In this manner
 * the <code>NavigationFilter</code> can effectively restrict where the
 * cursor can be positioned. Similarly <code>DefaultCaret</code> will call
 * into the <code>NavigationFilter</code> when the user is changing the
 * selection to further restrict where the cursor can be positioned.
 * <p>
 * Subclasses can conditionally call into supers implementation to restrict
 * where the cursor can be placed, or call directly into the
 * <code>FilterBypass</code>.
