 Hm, if I remember right there were strong objections to adding support for
 media to the Text widget. This gives this editor pretty much equivalent
 capabilities as the "main" editor and makes the (new) image, video and
 audio widgets somewhat redundant.

 40854.diff looks good, just have to enable the `wpview` plugin to show
 "previews" for galleries and embeds. Added that in 40854.2.diff.

 Yeah, we can't do any oEmbeds as currently there is no way to cache the
 responses. Once this is solved all embeddable content will work properly
 inside the editor.
