Comment(by pepijndevos):

 Because I can't.

 I've never written a complex non-regex parser(and have no idea how to do
 it*) and never contributed a patch to Wordpress.

 It'd be an interesting learning experience, but I doubt if it will work,
 be Wordpress coding style, backwards compatible, etc...
 Looking at shortcode.php I'm not sure which parts are mandatory an what I
 can throw out to write something new(with all those comments).

 * If I had to write a parser I think I would do it with a lot of foreach
 loops starting a new loop for every new tag and ending a loop for every
 end tag(to create some sort of 'levels'). I don't know exactly how, else I
 would have written it.
