Tree-sitter accesses buffer text one character at a time, for which an
API is very simple, and we already have such an API modules could use:
char-after. But I very much doubt that libraries like Rosie could do
well with such APIs for its needs. The alternative is to give modules
direct access to the entire buffer text, which IMO is unthinkable.
