It is an interface for accessing (layout generated) text box properties that hides the underlying data structures. There will be similar interfaces for other inline box types. Note that TextBox itself is just a temporary generated by the iterator, it is not an interesting type in itself.

The goal is be able to write code that accesses line layout without having to write multiple versions for different paths (we have two and a third one on the way).
