      The titles in a JTabbedPane should be buttons, so I can
      setMnemonic on them.

      As it stands, applications with tabbed panes can't be driven
      from the keyboard effectively.

      java version "1.3beta"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3beta-O)
      Java(TM) HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3beta-O, mixed mode)

      A user should be able to press a hotkey to access a component such as a
      JTextArea. If this component is enclosed inside a JPanel with a TitledBorder,
      that border should have a mnemonic allowing the component to have its focus
      requested.

      It's not always appropriate to have a JLabel next to such a component; nor
      should it be necessary.

      I suggest adding the methods:

      setDisplayedMnemonic(char aChar); and
      setLabelFor(Component component); etc, as in JLabel

      to the TitledBorder class.
