Not all! dBox is, well, a *box*, after all. Perhaps dTextBoxMixin ->
dTextMixin, but we don't develop apps using that class. The others are
questionable. Most languages call the info dialog a 'messagebox', and
are split between 'textbox' and 'textfield'. I've seen the edit box
control called 'textarea', as in HTML, but usually either an edit box
or a multi-line text box.
Not that I want to spend time on any of this, but I would rather
eliminate a ton of our d* classes that are not what we would 'expose'
as the Dabo Base Classes to a developer coming to the framework. If
they would never use it directly in an app, or subclass it, then it
shouldn't be d*.
