Yes, indeed we do implement something like this on the Mac.  See WebKit::WebSubstringUtil::attributedSubstringInRange(...) in WebKit/chromium/public/mac/WebSubstringUtil.h.

It appears to be implemented as a forked copy of a similar function defined in WebKit/mac/Misc/WebNSAttributedStringExtras.mm.  Forking :-(

Obviously, that does not work on non-Mac platforms.  It is not so clear to me that it is exactly analogous to what we want in this case, but I haven't studied it very closely.

Thanks for the tip!
