Only the obvious one: add the frequently used TStrings methods also to 
TMemo. Either explicitly or in some more elegant way.

E.g. the IStrings interface could be added to TMemo, implemented by 
Lines. That's the usual workaround for the lack of multiple inheritance, 
which here and in other list based controls would be the intuitive way 
for having both the list and control methods and properties in the class.
