Based on my prior requests for TextBuffer enhancements, i think the
problem is that everyone is trying to finish the 2.0 release so that
we can get feedback on a larger scale.  Once large scale feedback
is collected then the most important features can be added using
the best conceivable design.

Until then, i guess i can copy the TextBuffer code into my app
and make my own temporary mods.  ;-)

Correct me if i'm wrong.
