While we are tossing things out on the table, how about
wx.StaticBox and wx.StaticBoxSizer? IMHO, these should come for
free: wx.Panel should have a keyword argument (text=None) such that
if a value is given (e.g., text='my title'), the panel should
automatically include the wx.StaticBox and its sizer with an
appropriate sizer nested inside. YMMV
