/**
 * Simple extension of {@link javafx.scene.control.Label} to set the wrapping width in a more intuitive way.
 * By default, only {@link Text} has the capability of specifying the wrapping width. For {@code Labels}
 * this should be handled by setting its max width and by enabling the {@link #wrapTextProperty()}. However, this may not
 * lead to the desired behavior, and it's not intuitive as well. Let me explain, by setting the max width, you are limiting
 * the label's width regardless the state of {@link #wrapTextProperty()}. However, there are cases in which you may want
 * to limit the width only if the text should be wrapped. And here's when this comes in handy. The property can be set by
 * code or CSS ('-fx-wrapping-width' property), and it's implemented by overriding the {@link #computeMaxWidth(double)}
 * method. If the text should be wrapped and the specified wrapping width is greater than 0, then the latter will be used
 * as the label's max width. Otherwise, use the default computation.
 * 
 * This also adds a new feature/workaround. In JavaFX Labels are composed by two nodes at max: the icon/graphic and the
 * text. For performance reasons, probably the text node is not added to the control until the text is not null and not empty.
 * A mechanism to detect the addition and retrieval of such node has been added, allowing custom text-based controls to
 * take full control of the text node itself rather than the label as a whole.
 * 
 * This allows to implement three other useful tricks:
 * 
 1) 'Backport' the {@link Text#fontSmoothingTypeProperty()} here, allowing to set the antialiasing
 * method directly on the label. The default font smoothing type for this is set to {@link FontSmoothingType#LCD}.
 * 
 2) A way to completely disable the text truncation by always showing the full text and removing the clip
 * 
 3) A way to detect when the label's text is truncated, {@link #truncatedProperty()}

	 * This is responsible for completely removing the text truncation capability of the label. Runs only after the text
	 * node has been retrieved by {@link #setTextNode(Node)}.
	 * 

	 * How does it work?
	 * 
	 * First things first, how the JavaFX truncation mechanism works. There are effectively two separate text properties:
	 * one comes from the label itself, and the other is from the text node in its skin. The two are not bound. In fact,
	 * the property that specifies what's being shown by the label is the one from the text node (yeah, the one we forcefully
	 * retrieve here). When the text is truncated, the property from the label will return the full text, instead the one from
	 * the text node will return the truncated text.
	 * 

	 * Knowing this, we use a {@link When} construct (so a listener) on the text node's property so that every time it
	 * changes (it is truncated) we set it back to the full string. Yes, it's a brute force approach, but as far as I know
	 * it's the only way, you know how it is JavaFX... private, final, immutable, boring...
	 * 

	 * Additionally, the listener is also responsible for removing the clip applied to the text node. It appears that
	 * the text is not only truncated but also clipped for some reason, so restoring the full text may not be enough in some
	 * cases.
