 meant this for the "back-end" of the implementation (load all TinyMCE
 plugins, process shortcodes, etc.), not for the UI.

 Cool 👍

 setting there regardless if wpautop is used or not. Generally I think it
 would be better to not use autop (keeps things faster and simpler). On the
 other hand we have a Text editor tab that will look different, so.... Not
 sure :)

 I think we should probably mimic the editor. The "add paragraphs" checkbox
 never made any sense to me other than "people don't have a way to add
 paragraphs without manually coding `p` tags so I guess we need to add an
 option to add them for people instead."

 when the non-visual editor is shown.

 Could this be a good compromise to handle back-compat?
