Type to filter timeline

[funkatron]

we should be able to start typing on the keyboard in a timeline view, and it should filter the timeline based on our input. needs to be easy to dismiss, and should mirror the look and feel of the standard filter list widget for this (even though we don't use a Mojo list widget).

If we use a FilterList you get this out of the box, right? I'm still not clear why you didn't just use their templating, but I haven't dug through the code enough. This is something I'm interested in looking at at some point.

I didn't use their templating because all it does is simple macro replacement. there's no support for control structures. I wanted some basic logic (like if/else) in the templates, and you don't get that with them. I'm sure you could work around this to shoehorn in the list widget, though. OTOH, I prefer stuff that lets us create components we can put in SpazCore and use elsewhere, so a filtering view component like this on the timeline would be really handy. I've already converted a couple of the timelines in 0.5.2 to use the spazcore Timeline library.
