When components within a container are overlapped and the
stacking order is used to clip apropriately, there are no
methods available for raising a component to the top of
the stacking order.  Instead, a remove() followed by an add()
with a zero index must be done -- this causes visible flicker.
Container methods to bring a component to the top, send a
component to the bottom, and raise and lower a component one
position in the stacking order would be very useful.
