I'm a bit surprised that it behaves like this by default on Windows. I 
would have thought that the standard desirable behaviour for this kind 
of text editing widget would be to always consume Enter strokes.

I'll check that it's not something introduced by the wrapping, and if 
not, will do as you suggest.

I don't have one in a good enough state to be added, just a mishmash of 
stuff I used to test the various features as I added them. It would be 
very good to have a sample - I don't think it has to be as complex as 
the wxWidgets one - but at the moment writing samples is for me less of 
a priority than finishing the core lib. Contributions welcome.
