Can't get Cursor Position in a TextField

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a TextField
2. Try to get the position of the cursor in the text field as the user is
typing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There is a method on the base GWT TextBox widget called getCurrentPos()
that will get the cursor position in a TextBox.  There is nothing
equivalent for GWT-Ext.  It would be very nice to have.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.3 - Windows

Please provide any additional information below.
I know this is an enhancement but I don't see anywhere here to flag it as
such.  Sorry if this appears as a defect.

I mistyped the name of the method on the TextBox.  It's actually getCursorPos().
I forgot to mention that it would also be nice to have a setCursorPos(int pos) 
method
as well.
