    It would be easy enough to add one as a convenience method, if it
    was deemed useful enough. Andy can comment further.<br>

      To be honest, I think this will create problems when working with
      the RichTextArea API. <br>
      <br>
      Why? Because every developer will intuitively look for setText.
      For example, TextArea<br>

      — <br>
      has setText. CodeArea has setText. But RichTextArea doesn't. <br>
      <br>
      This doesn't seem very good. But that's just my personal opinion.<br>
