Description Ryosuke Niwa 2014-01-28 23:36:44 PST 
notifyRendererOfSelectionChange doesn't notify renderer EVER.

The name comes from the era where shadow DOM was a render tree concept.
The sole purpose of this function is to update text form controls' selection cache so it should be named so.

I think that the name updateFormControlSelectionCaches would be better.

It’s true that there is nothing to update if the selection is not inside a text form control, but I don’t think that needs to be stated in the function name.
