Comment (by johneckman):

 I have a feeling by the time we reach agreement it'll be time for 5.0 and
 this won't matter anymore, but let's try the attached.

 Changes the first paragraph under Coding Enhancements to:

 > If you’ve ever had a need to edit CSS, HTML, or JavaScript from within
 the WordPress dashboard, you know how easy it can be to miss syntax errors
 or other problems. That’s why we’ve introduced a new code editing library
 which allows for syntax highlighting, error checking, and validation.
 You’ll be able to scan code, identify potential issues, and fix errors
 quickly. This new library is used by the Custom HTML widget (introduced in
 WordPress 4.8.1), but developers will also be able to use this library
 wherever they provide code writing or editing experiences.

 Changes the paragraph under Developer Happiness to:

 > We’ve introduced a new code editing library, CodeMirror, for use within
 core. Use it to improve any code writing or editing experiences within
 your plugins. For example, as a theme author, you could provide a place in
 your theme settings for someone to add JavaScript or CSS to your theme
 output, so folks using your theme can include font files or tracking
 codes. Lean more about WP_Customize_Code_Editor_Control

 With a link to
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_customize_code_editor_control/

 I suppose the first paragraph (from Coding Enhancements) could also point
 out it is used in the customizer additional CSS as well as in theme editor
 and plugin editor, but I don't think that's necessary.
