The objective of VE is for even power users to never need to enter the wikitext
editor. Fixing broken usage would be an example of a use case that we'd want to
support.

I was thinking of having such tools hidden under an "advanced tools" collapsed
block in the toolbar, but we should properly look at this rather than just
commit to the way to do it in a Bugzilla thread. :-) Ideally we'd rather not
have individual wikis trying to come up with local-only "solutions" to this.
