Calling {{{Text();}}} works as expected -- you get a {{{char*}}} with all
the text in the view. But calling {{{GetText(buffer,
BTextView::TextLength());}}} produces the same output only if the text was
not modified since {{{SetText}}} was called. If it was modified,
{{{buffer}}} will not contain the text the view shows, but rather the text
'''''as if the user had written it while in overwrite mode''''' meaning
the {{{GetText()}}} buffer will be filled only up to the size of whatever
was passed to {{{SetText}}} as well as being erroneous.
A few OpenGrok searches show that nothing internal uses this, but it
appears that at least some apps on HaikuArchives does...
