I'm not sure if adding modify to Range is the right way to provide the said functionality. Exposing a new method on document / frame to create selection or make a clone of the selection might be a better idea because that'll allow developers to call any method provided by selection, and we don't need to add any exotic methods to Range.

Usage 1:
var selection = window.getSelection().copy();
selection.modify(...);
...
window.setSelection(selection);


Usage 2:
var selection = window.createSelection();
selection.setBaseAndExtend(...);
...
if (window.getSelection() == selection)
   doSomething();
