Deletes a sequence of characters from the buffer.
@n_chars characters are deleted starting at @position. If @n_chars is negative, then all characters until the end of the text are deleted.
If @position or @n_chars are out of bounds, then they are coerced to sane values.
Note that the positions are specified in characters, not bytes.
