Type cursor

UiZ has a built in drawing system for a type cursor. A type cursor is a little vertical line "|" that appears at whatever position the user is typing. Only one can exist at a time. The type cursor is not bound to a single object. This means that no constant updating and redrawing of objects is needed when the type cursor is displayed. The downside is that occlusions don't always work perfectly.
