  I`m developing a plugin similar to https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-Addon-SDK/blob/main/plugin-sdk/v2/editorTextPlugin/c3runtime/instance.js.

  I've previously asked Ashley about this plugin in this topic and he's added updateRender method in Addon SDK V2 as a result. It helps me, thanks!

  During development I noticed that my updates for textRenderer via setters (like text, verticalAlign, etc.) only work if the rendererText.getTexture() was called after calling the setters. I researched it in devtools and saw that GetTexture() calls texture updater.

  I find this to be rather strange and non-obvious behavior, because getters should be pure functions.

  I have a plugin on SDK V1 which uses SDKWorldInstanceBase. It is based on template from https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-Addon-SDK/blob/main/plugin-sdk/v1/editorTextPlugin/c3runtime/instance.js and have the same Draw() and _MaybeCreateRendererText() methods.

  When properties are changed via actions (like _SetText) my plugin calls this._runtime.UpdateRender() and Draw() method redraws object.

  During the porting my plugin on SDK V2 I noticed that this.runtime from ISDKWorldInstanceBase doesn't have updateRender() or any similar methods for force redrawing.

  How could I call redrawing in SDK V2?
