[Mono-winforms-list] .NET v2 MaskedTextBox

Microsoft does not use the same control for the underlying implementation of 
MaskedTextBox, and their doc explicitly describes that many TextBoxBase 
properties are ineffective when used with MaskedTextBox. Also, MaskedTextBox 
is a single-line only control, so implementing it as a separate control and 
branching in TextBoxBase would not too big a undertaking.

My point, however, was not whether or not TextBoxBase is complete (which it 
is), but that there are still significant changes being done to TextControl, 
to support RichText and fix bugs, which could interfere with patches Thomas 
might be developing gainst those classes.
