I agree that we should find a better name for text_model.

Other name inconsistencies result from different ways the interfaces are
used. text_model_factory is a global object used by clients to create an
arbitrary amount of text_model objects on request. An input method on
the other hand cannot create input_method_context by itself but just
gets them handed out when such a context gets activated.
