New description:

 Unlike other shortcode descriptions included in a page/post using the
 `[[shortcode]]` double `[[ ... ]]` convention to enable displaying the
 shortcode name in a post instead of the results, `[[gallery]]` does not
 work. The editor insists on detecting `[[gallery]]` as a reference to the
 gallery for the special display treatment. This makes it nearly impossible
 to write a post about the gallery shortcode.

 I have not checked, but this may apply to other special case shortcodes
 (like images inserted via shortcodes from the media library), but it could
 be a general failure of TinyMCE to follow the `[[shortcode]]` convention
 for shortcodes that get special treatment by the editor.

 Sorry about the issues with using `[[` and `]]` - I couldn't find any way
 to escape the square brackets correctly.

 Fixed this by using the backtick `.
