 * Navigation (scrolling) in IO component.

 *  // scroll to stored position
 *  pos.scrollTo();

 * How to support {@link IOPosition} in own {@link IOProvider} implementation:
 * 
 *    {@link InputOutput} provided by {@link IOProvider} has to implement {@link org.openide.util.Lookup.Provider}

 Extend {@link IOPosition} and implement its abstract methods
 *   
 Place instance of {@link IOPosition} to {@link Lookup} provided by {@link InputOutput}
