Comment:

 Looks like the issue is that quicktags gets spit out by
 wp_print_scripts(). Enqueueing it doesn't matter, thus dequeueing it
 doesn't matter.

 It should be properly enqueued, instead of printed. (The script should
 also fire on ready, not direct document.writes on load. Whole thing needs
 a rewrite.) That's probably for another ticket.

 Besides that, the dequeue function should really have a return value. The
 bug still stands in that wp_dequeue_script() fails to dequeue when an
 enqueued script is dependent. If that's not a bug, then we need a return
 false to know that.
