Hi Pierre
1. As a scripter user, I expect api's to do whatever can be done visually 
(manually). Probably, scripter is not there yet which I understand.
2. Now about my need of setTextFrameDistance(). I am trying to design many 
cards in which I need to use textFrame (with some corner radius and 
background color). But the text starts sticks beside the borders. It does 
not look good because there is no distance between text and borders of 
textFrame.

I guess we can use a bigger rectangle in the background with corner radius 
etc. but this increases the dependency on extra object just because one api 
is missing. I would rather prefer setTextFrameDistance().

I hope I was able to explain. Please let me know if I need to clarify 
further. Thanks
