Yeah, not having that seems a little weird to me as well. I forget
how/where, can't the usage of the property be marked as experimental/not-stable
or something like that?
I'm currently running with this used by the jVi plugin, it adjust the caret
and reposition the viewport after reload. But that doesn't qualify.
The issue is how to best use this. I'm thinking there might be considerable
discussion around it. Wanted to get this in or visible so it could be tried
out. I'll post something to dev, and see if there are any comments.
I was thinking of opening a draft PR on `EditorCaret` that uses this to
adjust caret position after reload, and respect an `IGNORE_RELOAD` text
component client property. Then there'll be something to kick around. But
getting it ready for release could be a major task; and this might not be the
best place to put it, editor kits might be a better place; or ....
Probably the biggest problem doing this is that jVi extends
`BaseCaret`/`ExtCaret` (and the vim block mode is full featured in NetBeans)
and I don't even know how to create multiple carets in the default editor.
