/**
* Heuristic to determine if this is an expected update of the cursor.
*
* Sometimes updates to the cursor position are late because of their asynchronous nature.
* This method tries to determine if this update is one, based on the values of the cursor
* position in the update, and the currently expected position of the cursor according to
* LatinIME's internal accounting. If this is not a belated expected update, then it should
* mean that the user moved the cursor explicitly.
* This is quite robust, but of course it's not perfect. In particular, it will fail in the
* case we get an update A, the user types in N characters so as to move the cursor to A+N but
* we don't get those, and then the user places the cursor between A and A+N, and we get only
* this update and not the ones in-between. This is almost impossible to achieve even trying
* very very hard.
*
* @param oldSelStart The value of the old cursor position in the update.
* @param newSelStart The value of the new cursor position in the update.
* @return whether this is a belated expected update or not.

// The following returns true if newSelStart is between oldSelStart and
// mCurrentCursorPosition. We assume that if the updated position is between the old
// position and the expected position, then it must be a belated update.
