We will want:

draw "cursor" when container is focused or when registered for global keyboard
user provided or automatic width
single line of unicode runes
scrolling left / right with arrows + text trimming
text label above or to the left of
ability to get content and clear atomically via:
- API call (i.e. from another widget like a button).
- internal trigger (i.e. pressing the Enter key).

For inspiration:

API proposal:

type CallbackFn func(text string) error

type TextInput struct {}

func New(Callback(cFn)) (*TextInput, error) {}

func (ti *TextInput) Read() string {}

func (ti *TextInput) ReadAndClear() string {}
