public interface ITextInputTargetA focusable element that wants keystrokes to go through the operating system's input method.
No guide page documents this yet — the page shows what the code says about itself.
Remarks
The framework half of ITextInput, which Vixen.Ui is not allowed to name. Vixen.Platform sits above the Core/ assemblies, so a control cannot call Activate or SetCandidateArea itself. What it can do is answer two questions about itself, and let the host — Vixen.Platform.Ui's PlatformTextInput — ask them once a frame. The same shape as Cursor and PlatformCursor, for the same layering reason.
⚠ Implementing this is what turns text input on, and nothing else does. Text input is off by default on every platform — while it is on, the platform gives keystrokes to the IME first, so W may compose instead of moving a character. Desktop appears to work without any of this only because SDL leaves text input running; a focused field on web or on a phone receives nothing at all until somebody activates it.
