Update on FX plans for JDK 9

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

I have a another API I'd like to get into FX9 which makes my
implementation of Source-Code editors smoother:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8090688

It even has a patch which most likely does not apply any more because of
the whole stuff getting public API but I would recreate it if it gets on
the FX9 list.
