Whiteboard
Looking at this quickly there are a couple of small things that make this a bit harder than it might have otherwise been.
* Copying a TEXT span isn't possible with the current API as it is a byte-counted thing rather than nul-terminated. There could be an internal API that tickit_
* I'm not sure how to best go about copying line data.
* I think it is fine to just skip SKIP spans rather than copy the SKIP, right?

* TEXT span copy should now be possible with the new 'textn' methods.
* SKIP spans in the source should result in no action on the destination, yes. A SKIP span basically removes any rendering instructions from that point in the buffer - don't remove any content that was already there in the destination. Consider it a bit like a transparent section.
