Comment:

 I guess I'm curious why the {{{shortcode_exists()}}} function was added
 since this is so simple to check this by checking the global
 {{{$shortcode_tags}}}.  This function seems to just add extra bloat to the
 WordPress code.

 The other curiosity is in regards to the performance impact
 {{{has_shortcode()}}} will have ... there are at least a few tutorials on
 how to make this function, but making it a part of the core code sort of
 encourages the use of such a function and can hurt the overall performance
 of WordPress.

 Would a filter hook in the {{{do_shortcode_tag()}}} function be a better
 option performance wise so that as the shortcodes are being executed, a
 hooked function can alter the shortcode tag before it is rendered?  Not
 sure why this function was introduced, but that's just a thought...
