Note that:
- Order of {pos1} and {pos2} doesn't matter, it will always
return content from the upper left position to the lower
right position.
- If 'virtualedit' is enabled and selection is past the end of
line, resulting lines are filled with blanks.
- If the selection starts or ends in the middle of a multibyte
character, it is not included but its selected part is
substituted with spaces.
- If 'virtualedit' is enabled and the region is past the end
of the lines, resulting lines are padded with spaces.
- If the region is blockwise and it starts or ends in the
middle of a multi-cell character, it is not included but
its selected part is substituted with spaces.
- If {pos1} or {pos2} is not current in the buffer, an empty
list is returned.
