Comment:

 I propose removing this option and the :-) to smily option (#32298) so we
 can remove that whole section. If someone really wants to do this, there
 is a filter for this, and by default, not many people use this particular
 option as pointed out. Most people who just switch to the HTML view for a
 individual posts don't want the balance_tags filter or any other auto-
 correction to 'mess up' the HTML they specifically wanted to enter
 themselves.
