TextKitPlus and BaseTextView can’t be used together

[wjk]

What the title says, really. TextViewPlus makes all kinds of calls to the layoutManager, which will assert in Debug, and return a nil value in Release, when used on a BaseTextView. This will cause the control to break. I don’t believe that this is intentional. Unless there’s something here I’m not seeing, of course. 😉

Most of this library was built before TextKit 2 existed. BaseTextView is really focused on TextKit 2. That's one of the reasons it is so strict about preventing a TK2 -> TK 1 downgrade. It's so easy to do by accident!

I'm not 100% sure all of the original concepts make sense. They might! But I'm still actively investigating TK2. If you have thoughts/opinions I'd love to hear them!

@mattmassicotte Fair enough. I just assumed it would be this way based on the wording of the documentation. That being said, I think TextKit 2 support would be great, as it would let me standardize on TextKit 2 for all of the text views in my app. Just a thought!

[mattmassicotte]

Absolutely not a bother! The opposite in fact 😃 I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have about any of these repos! Please don't be shy.

I should probably update that. But, these things are really fresh and under active development. And I tend to play pretty fast and loose in that situation, for better or worse.

I have now made a tiny bit of progress on this, and do intend bridging some of these gaps. How many its clear though, because some concepts do not make sense in the TextKit 2 world.
