Feature Request: Make the client side editor in NatEdit pluggable

Motivation

We are looking forward to see NatEditPlugin to land in core (Tasks.Item11648).

But now, some discussions rise in regard to the assisted editor itself. We are experimenting with markitup and are impressed by the simple configuration to include all sorts of tml and macros. Also help is nicely integrated. Beats the current assisted Editor in NatEdit in several aspects.

A short discussion on IRC pointed out, that exchanging the current client side editor with a wysiwyg editor is a very much hoped feature for too.

Description and Documentation

We would like to see NatEditPlugin to separate the client side editor in a way that it can easily be exchanged with an other editor.

How a different editor is deployed, installed and configured might differ depending the editor.

In regards of activating a certain editor, we would very much like to see it implemented via skin, selectable by a user variable.
