---@brief
---
--- EXPERIMENTAL: This API is unstable, do not use it. Its semantics are not yet finalized.
--- Subscribe to this issue to stay updated: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/25509
---
--- Provides operations to compare, calculate, and convert positions represented by |vim.Pos|
--- objects.
local M = {}
local api = vim.api
local validate = vim.validate
--- Represents a well-defined position.
---
--- A |vim.Pos| object contains the {row} and {col} coordinates of a position.
--- To create a new |vim.Pos| object, call `vim.pos()`.
---
--- Example:
--- ```lua
--- local pos1 = vim.pos(vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf(), 3, 5)
--- local pos2 = vim.pos(vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf(), 4, 0)
---
--- -- Operators are overloaded for comparing two `vim.Pos` objects.
--- if pos1 < pos2 then
--- print("pos1 comes before pos2")
--- end
---
--- if pos1 ~= pos2 then
--- print("pos1 and pos2 are different positions")
--- end
--- ```
---
--- It may include optional fields that enable additional capabilities,
--- such as format conversions.
---
---@class vim.Pos
---@field row integer 0-based byte index.
---@field col integer 0-based byte index.
---@field buf integer buffer handle.
---@field private [1] integer underlying representation of row
---@field private [2] integer underlying representation of col
---@field private [3] integer underlying representation of buf
