My interpretation was that it was up to the user to call this method if
they subclassed JComponent and didn't call super.processKeyEvent from
the subclass' processKeyEvent method.  Or, if they wrote Swing
Components that were not derived from JComponent .. I still thought it
was up to them to call it.  Things like JFrame, which aren't derived
from JComponent, shouldn't call this method internally.

Thanks for implementing this, I believe that was actually in my PR list.
