Ace: Ability to disable Ace editor box

[dimroc]

It would be great if we could disabled the Ace editor box with the disabled attribute, similar to what's available with a textarea:

<textarea rows="3" cols="25" disabled="disabled">
This textarea is grayed out and disabled for interaction.
</textarea>

The closest thing we already have in Ace is the "readonly" property (editor.setReadonly(true))

Thanks, that'll do.

FYI it is editor.setReadOnly(true)
