[plt-scheme] inactive caret

I think the best you can do is override on-paint and draw it yourself.

If you just want to show _something_ without showing the caret per se,
you might check out highlight-range, a method of text:basic<%> in the
framework. If you highlight an empty range, you get a single line, much
like a caret.
