This is a significant refactoring of ParagraphEditor, but the code 
looks pretty good... some code is made more clear afterward.  There's 
been some discussion of this changeset already, I think it's a good 
time to include it, being early in the alpha cycle.

The only minor hesitation I have is with turning on 
wordStyleCursorMovement by default, as the line-based cursor movement 
is still sometimes useful.  But we can always switch the pref back if 
people object.  The selectionsMayShrink pref I agree should be turned 
on, as the old behavior is just plain inferior.
