Comment (by azaozz):

 In 35760.patch:
 - This is a somewhat raw, "first run" patch. May need some cleanup and/or
 refinement.
 - The scripts, stylesheets and default settings for the editor are
 outputted from PHP and need to be "enqueued" before the footer (before
 `admin_print_footer_scripts`).
 - It is aware of `wp_editor()` and won't output the same editor parts
 twice.

 Tried loading from JS "on demand", but that can be quite slow (typically
 more than 3 sec.). After tinymce.js is loaded it starts to initialize,
 then has to load the css and maybe additional js, then it finishes
 initializing. So it takes "double load" time.
