A ttk::spinbox is on the long-term TODO list.  Rough
plan is to try implementing it as a snidget first
(SNIT-based megawidget), since this would be a good
test case for other entry-like megawidgets.  Not
any time soon though; maybe in the Tk 8.6 / Tile 0.9
timeframe.

There are no plans for a ttk::text widget.  The text widget
is massively complicated and would not benefit much from the
Tile framework: the only themable part is the border, and
it's mostly an "owner-draw" widget (which the framework isn't
very good at handling).  Reimplementing it doesn't seem
worth the effort.
