Comment (by philipwalton):

 For what it's worth, I ran into another situation other than shortcodes
 where I needed to make the decision whether or not to enqueue a script
 after the `admin_enqueue_scripts` hook was fired. In this case on the
 admin side.

 I'm using an MVC plugin framework that loads a view file for the settings
 form. In the view file the user of the framework creates a form object,
 e.g:
 {{{
 $form = new MVC_Active_Form;
 $form->ajax_validation = true;
 }}}
 So the framework has no idea whether or not the settings form will require
 ajax validation until after WordPress loads it, which doesn't happen until
 well after the `admin_enqueue_scripts` hook is fired.

 Anyway, I just thought I'd offer another example to support a better
 implementation of `wp_enqueue_script()` in core. In the meantime the
 proposed work-around is doing the trick.
