 Our handling of dormant shortcodes is inelegant. They spit out the raw
 shortcode. Better, would be for use to keep track of a historical record
 of which shortcodes have been registered, and if it's one of those
 "dormant" shortcodes (used to be registered, but no longer is), have it
 gracefully degrade, not show the shortcode, and return its contents if
 it's a wrapper shortcode.

 This would require an option to track the shortcodes that have been used.
 Whenever a new one comes around, we add it to the array.

 Eventually, we could deprecate the use of non-registered shortcodes, get
 rid of this solution, and simplify our regex to be generic (which would
 scale better).
