 Yes, I know that and mentioned it above, but it becomes a bigger issue
 when dealing with plugins, which may change the function name without
 notice. I guess maybe that's an edge case though?

 My thinking was that if we make people search through the source looking
 for the right function to call, they'll just call `do_shortcode(
 '[shortcode]' )` instead. If we can point them to an easy to use core
 function, they'll probably use it.

 I think this is the best solution to the problem, but if you don't think
 it's a real problem, or isn't big enough to require this solution, I'll
 respect that.
