Whevever this goes in - while we're modifying ParagraphEditor, I would
push for my paren-blinking changeset to go in as well (modified to use a
preference).  It's completely stable and adds inobtrusive but quite useful

Personally, I'd like to see these get adopted as soon as possible - better
text editing significantly imrpoves the out of box experience, IMO.
