#15070: WordPress cuts short links with "!"

 Severity:  normal       |    Keywords:  URL comments link
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Short links that have an exclamation point in the URLs [ "!" ] posted in
 comments are "cut" by the WP.

 For instance, WordPress cuts http://name.ly/!Bd$8N down to http://name.ly/

 Facebook and Twitter, for instance, handle such links correctly.

 As it is 100% legal URL syntax [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL ] to
 have "!" in the URL, such cuts are annoying.

 WP should not cut the URLs downto "!" character but parse it to the next
 space or new line character.
