Comment:

 I think that this patch is OK; I'm not convinced it needs unit tests, or
 what those unit tests would actually be testing. There should be no change
 in what HTML the field accepts or outputs, just a change in the editor
 output.

 I've modified the patch slightly to clarify the comment, update the
 version, and clearly state that this only enables TinyMCE in the
 attachment editing screen; the media modal would be a much bigger change,
 and probably not worth the effort.

 I also want to observe that there are other solutions to getting automatic
 paragraphs in the description field, such as running `wpautop` on the
 output of the field when it's rendered; and the description field accepts
 HTML, so they can also be written directly into the text field.
