TextIter.forwardChars

Moves @count characters if possible.

If @count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer.

The return value indicates whether the new position of @iter is different from its original position, and dereferenceable (the last iterator in the buffer is not dereferenceable). If @count is 0, the function does nothing and returns %FALSE.
