VText is not a reincarnation of the TextEdit API.
VText is not a C++ PowerPlant wrapper to some other text engine.
VText is a text engine built to the object oriented API defined in
PowerPlant's "AppleEvent Classes" -- but built entirely from
scratch. VText further refines that API by adding support for rulers,
bidirectional scripts, multibyte characters, and inline TSM text entry.
