Subject: Re: [jira] Reopened: (PIVOT-565) Use TextArea in default tooltip 
rather than Label

Actually, I just prototyped this and I think that a custom body might be the 
right way to go. Prompt and Alert messages are generally meant to be short. 
They are displayed in bold and are sort of like a "subject" of the prompt. The 
body is where you would provide additional detail and would be more likely to 
want to display multiple paragraphs.

Maybe a better alternative would be to add another static prompt()/alert() 
utility method that takes a string representing the body? This method could 
create a TextArea as the actual body component and set the text on that.
