Comment (by mclaurent):

 Thanks @dd32 that makes sense. I agree that it isn't much extra work work
 at all to use the get_template_part within a shortcode. I guess that I
 feel the function name to be misleading as it begins with "get_" and
 implies that something is returned rather than echoed.
 Would you consider a patch for a new function
 `get_template_part_shortcode( $slug, $name = null )`  or an updated
 function `get_template_part( $slug, $name = null, $echo = true )` ?
