Comment (by azaozz):

 Still to do:
 - There are couple of places where Underscore/Lodash is used, but it is
 not guaranteed it will be available. Refactor them to use similar helper
 methods in `window.tinymce`.
 - Add support for disabling this from the editor settings?
 - Perhaps use `editor.on( 'beforeGetContent', ...)` to always remove the
 selection marker. Can filter the editor DOM before serializing. This will
 remove it on switching editors, on saving, and when other plugins extract
 (some of) the content.
