 if we move the media button then this location will be come a second class
 option to put the the button so developers will move their buttons to the
 toolbar next to the new media button and this will cause space problems

 When I was chatting about this plug-in/feature on IRC I made the
 suggestion that we could add an action to the back(up) scroll to slide the
 toolbar down to expose the media buttons and slide then back up on the
 down scroll.

 adding a hover action 3px border to the top of the editor button to cause
 the button to slide down would be good as well

 I like this idea because it keeps the media bar a first class location to
 add button and feel it feel natural to use

 I wonder if we can code this to see how/if it works as part of UX testing
 we are seeing similar UX in mobile browsers with their toolbar's and this
 will be a smaller UI change

 I hope this makes sense
