At least in some cases you can explicitly request a range, e.g.:

>>> o.focused_element.children.find_one(AXRole='AXTextArea').AXStringForRange[Span(0, 10)]
'\n\nNicholas'

This may be more efficient with long documents.

Nice, didn't know about AXStringForRange. Since we need DEFAULT_CONTEXT_CHARACTERS characters in both directions this should be a nice performance bump
