Comment(by godfreykfc):

 If we are supporting nested shortcode, then we'll have to deal with
 situations like these:

 {{{
 [shortcode]
 [shortcode]...[/shortcode]
 }}}

 If nesting is not supported, then this should clearly be interpreted as an
 (implied) self-closing {{{[shortcode /]}}} followed by a
 {{{[shortcode]...[/shortcode]}}}. However, if nesting is permitted, then
 it can also be interpreted as {{{[shortcode] [/shortcode]}}} pair wrapping
 around the content {{{[shortcode /]...}}}. IMO, either interpretation is
 fine, but it should be clearly defined (and test cases should be written)
 and we should make sure that interpretation won't change from
 implementation to implementation. We should also deprecate the implied
 self-closing syntax and encourage people to start using the explict
 {{{[shortcode /]}}} syntax to avoid ambiguity.

 By the way, as pointed out in #10473, this is not working in the current
 release at all, so please make sure it is fixed by the submitted patch.
