Multi-line text widget

Currently there's no such thing, but it is in near plans. I don't think tables would be handy for this. I would rather extend (and then contribute! 😉 ) existing TextField.

Do you think it's a good idea to extend it with scrolling and line breaking? Several things can be re-used though. What do you think of Qt's approach of inheriting from a scroll bar widget?

@ephja, I would rather use composition and reuse existing ScrollView to embed the TextField within:

let textField = TextField.new(someRect)
textField.multiline = true
textField.autoresizingMask = { afFlexibleWidth, afFlexibleHeight }
let scrollView = newScrollView(textField) # Embedding into ScrollView

As for line breaking, eventually we will definitely need it, but I can't tell you do it or not. If you're into contributing, I can only thank you ( and maybe criticize just a bit ;) ).
