Yeah, the reason I was hesitant to change this is that currently you can set
the alignment from CSS in two ways:
.titled-pane {
-fx-alignment: RIGHT;
}
Or:
.titled-pane > .title {
-fx-alignment: RIGHT;
}
Both will work at the moment. I'm not sure which one is more correct.
A titled pane naturally has two major regions; its title area, and its content
area. The top level alignment could apply to either or none in theory. The
top level alignment setting is "inherited" from being a Labeled control, which
only has a single alignment to worry about (this also shows using this kind of
inheritance is just a bad idea). It would have been much more clear to have a
`titleAlignment` and `contentAlignment` property.
At the "top" level there is nothing to align, since a titled pane always fill
its width.
