Naïve EditBox implementations have `O(N)` complexity on single
character handling so no matter what you do it will be
ineffective. On each character pressed it rescans (word/line
breaking, etc.) of whole text.
That's precisely what we have now, unfortuantely. I already
realized that we'll need more edit widget sorts. The current
EditBox is a bit of a god object and tries to bee everything at
once (as many other things in the codebase).
I would rather go with Skia from ground up.
Never heard of it, will take a look. SDL has an advantage of
being C lib, and D's story of C interop is pretty strong. Not
sure about C++.
