Dear fellow developers:

I'd like to propose a new (missing) API in Text and TextFlow which will extract 
some information about the current text layout [0], [1].

At the moment, it provides information about the text lines (offsets and 
bounds) plus the overall layout bounds.  The internal API provide more 
information, for example about individual text runs within each text line, but 
capturing those will have some overhead, and I am not sure of any use cases 
right now.

Are there any thoughts or suggestions as to what other information might be 
useful for the application developers?

Thanks!
-andy
