right it doesn't but UnoEditControlModel does mention it on its
setMaxLen() and the implementation forward the value to the
XTextComponent as-is


otoh, some code use if(getmaxtextlen() != EDIT_NOLIMIT) with
EDIT_NOLIMT defiend to STRING_LEN
due to the oveflow that translate to SetMaxTextLen(-1) in UNO

furthermore SetMaxTextLen has different default value for the class
Edit (default to EDIT_NOLIMIT) and VclMultiLineEdit(default 0)

argh!!....
