// This script fully hides the VisualEditor tool, leaving its functionality inaccessible.
// It does not entirely undo the changes, but does restore old look and user-facing behavior.

// It's bound to break on the slightest changes to VE itself, and might not cooperate
// with other scripts which poke around the article tabs or section edit links.

// Use at your own risk, and pester the VE team to restore the option to disable VisualEditor
// if you believe it is necessary.
