Comment (by celloexpressions):

 After some discussions at WCLA Contributor Day, the thought is that
 WP_Customize_Media_Control could be a distinct control from the
 upload/image controls that does what we can't do there because of back-
 compatibility. The other controls will be updated to leverage the media
 manager, but we won't be able to leverage any of the other attachment info
 besides the image URL.

 WP_Customize_Media_Control, on the other hand, could store more
 detailed/structured information in its settings. Potentially, we could
 store what we would normally put in `the_content` here and apply filters
 to get_option/theme_mod to render any media shortcodes, external embeds,
 images with captions and lt tags, etc.
