The text engine code provides a framework to do text processing.
It implements a parser that decompose a text string into tokens
(for the time being, it only generates a single text token, no real
parsing). It also defines a visitor pattern to do text processing.

There has been initial code proposed to compute text extent.
See [1]. This might be a good start.
