I remember discussing this new text rendering system, but I'm just
unsure: is this the end of font.wait()? Can font.width() be safely
called from the foreground thread? Would be pretty cool if possible.
Also, I think I've worked out why my selection system doesn't look
right. Rendering is happening after each Scheduled thread completes,
isn't it?
Back in Lithium days, I believe the core waited for a break in
background thread activity before rendering. Is it going to be such
again?
Otherwise, a lot of code is going to be complicated, because all of the
rendering tasks you want to appear at once need to be complete before
the current thread is finished processing. Messy.
