That was also one of the ideas I had. :)

Not in favour of this personally.
I wouldn't create a new widget either, but instead a named textarea widget.
One of the things I want to avoid with mythui is creating new widgets for
every little purpose. Libmyth's uitypes is a mess because of this and there
is far more theming flexibility in creating one versatile widget instead of
3/4 special purpose ones.
