Comment (by georgestephanis):

 First attempt at including CodeMirror in a patch is attached.

 Be warned, it's over 700k, as it's just the unminified sources.

 The current patch does two things:

 1) Add and register the relevant scripts and styles
 2) Implements them for the Theme Editor screen -- CSS and PHP files.

 That should let us play around a bit and see how it works in practice for
 a11y and the like.

 There are a lot of files that I left out of the patch -- some addons, and
 some languages.  There were a few addons and languages we likely won't
 directly need, but I included because they were pretty small and would
 likely be useful for some plugin authors -- like the Markdown and SQL
 modes, for example.
