// wxSelectionStore is used to store the selected items in the virtual

// a huge (practically infinite) number of items.
//
// Of course, internally it still has to store the selected items somehow (as
// an array currently) but the advantage is that it can handle the selection
// of all items (common operation) efficiently and that it could be made even
// smarter in the future (e.g. store the selections as an array of ranges +
// individual items) without changing its API.
