There are 2 possibilities. Same field could be editted in two
different controls at the same time, like a TDBGrid and a TDBEdit, but
in TDBGrid you can use a more compact mask for editing a date (in
example) but a more verbose in a TDBEdit.

The second one is that if the user does not define a edit mask he/she
can not use a TDBMaskEdit (it does not exists). The presence of a
TDBMaskEdit in the component palette will invalidate this of course.

Anyway if TDBEditMask is removed I will not complaint.
