Hi,

I have an idea for a feature. The masked TextCtrl is very nice and 
incredibly powerful. I only wish it had a way for variable width masks. 
Here is what I mean, say you could have a mask of 'C{0-9}' that would 
mean from 0 to 9 characters. Then the text control could contain '' for 
example.

I was very excited when I used fillChar = '' and got almost what I 
wanted. Then I looked at the source and saw that this will really not 
work.

To make a wx.TextCtrl support masks while dealing with things like 
pasting would make me redo much of what is already done in the masked 
TexCtrl.

Possibly there is a way to do what I wish that I have not stumbled 
across?

Thanks,
mzs
