 In the "Add an image: Media Library" dialog, an image attachment with a
 non-empty ''Caption'' field is always inserted with a printed caption. If
 you clear the ''Caption'' field and click ''Insert into post'', the image
 is inserted with no printed caption (and no alternative text either) --
 but that permanently erases the attachment's excerpt.

 So I think we need 2 changes:

  * Authors should be able to choose whether to insert a printed caption
 without making permanent changes to the attachment's caption field (maybe
 via a checkbox that says, e.g., ☑ ''Print a caption beneath the image'');
 and
  * Images inserted without a printed caption should have alternative text
 from the ''Caption'' field
