 Replying to [comment:3 jdgrimes]:
 > I think what brought me here originally was a scenario in which I wanted
 to display shortcode examples. The plugin that provides those shortcodes
 wasn't installed, but I was planning to possibly install it in the future.
 I wanted to avoid those examples being actually executed by the plugin if
 I installed it later. I thought I would escape them, but I couldn't.

 A) I think that's definitely an edge-case
 B) You can fix it as you did, or you can use HTML entities for the
 brackets like I did `[` becomes `[` and `]` becomes `]`
