Swift 4.1 UITextView, Playground, UnsafeMutablePointer<ObjCBool> in a closure, finding ranges, adding attributes to attributed text
//: A UIKit based Playground for presenting A Textview with Attributed String text
//: Demonstrates the use of 'stop: UnsafeMutablePointer<ObjCBool>' parameter in the block of code by using 'stop[0]=true'
//: Show the assistant editor to see the Text view output.
// designed with Swift 4.1
