One noteworthy aspect of using this style with a multi-line edit is that
the problem of incompatible line endings between the edit buffer and the
string it returns seems to go away. In other words, under Windows, one
can manipulate a string representation of the edit buffer without the
index positions being off because of a carriage return/line feed in one
case and only a line feed in another. This allows, for example, a
substring to be found by using
position = edit_control.get_value.index(substring)
edit_control.set_insertion_point(position)
