What is the difference, conceptually, between TextMorph's and
StringMorph's? And, while we're at it, PluggableTextMorph's?
A tentative answer:
TextMorph intend to hold formatted text and other morphs. This has
aspirations to be a word processor.
StringMorph plain old text (except even that can have fonts, emphasis, etc,
can't it?)
PluggableTextMorph most salient feature is that it is a ScrollPane, so you
get scrollbars.
Putting the question more practically, in what circumstances is it
appropriate to use each?
