/**
 * Implements a very simple lightweight text editing component.
 * It lets the user edit a single line of text using the keyboard.
 * The only special character that it knows about is backspace; all other
 * characters are added to the text. Selections are not supported, so
 * there's only a simple caret indicating the insertion point.
 * The component also displays a component name above the editable
 * text line, and draws a black frame whose thickness indicates whether
 * the component has the focus.
 * <p>
 * The component can be initialized to enable or disable input
 * through input methods. Other than that, it doesn't do anything
 * to support input methods, so input method interaction (if any)
 * will occur in a separate composition window. However, the
 * component is designed to be easily extended with full input
 * method support. It distinguishes between "displayed text" and
 * "committed text" - here, they're the same, but in a subclass
 * that supports on-the-spot input, the displayed text would be the
 * combination of committed text and composed text. The component
 * also uses TextLayout to draw the text, so it can be easily
 * extended to handle input method highlights.
