I would add the ancient and limited image support, both for input and
canvas output. Modern SVG output instead of ancient (possibly buggy)
PostScript would be a real improvement.
Otherwise, I have become more impressed with the text widget as I have
studied the Idle code. Even that does not use everything. I have not
looked at the text widget in other guis to compare.
