Comment (by markjaquith):

 It's an odd class, that's for sure. It has instance variables, but to
 output a new editor, no new instance is created, the instance variables
 are just changed. It would make a lot more sense as an actual class with a
 separate instance for each editor. And either static methods or a
 {{{WP_Editor_Factory}}} singleton to control the global stuff that needs
 to happen. But I don't think we can get into all that now.

 I'd like to prioritize the following goals:

 * Backwards compatibility. Let's not break plugins.
 * Making sure no one can use this class in its current state. I'd go
 beyond the admonishment in the file and actually force it to be a
 singleton. That way we can clean it up in a subsequent release. It's not
 meant to be reused, so let's make sure it can't be.
 * Public APIs that don't box us in.
