Comment (by trevogre):

 I think that I did that wrong. I'll have to lookup how to submit a patch
 and see if I did that right.

 The uploaded patch does the first two parts of this. Adds an option to
 store every shortcode that is added with modifications to add_shortcode.
 It stores the array with each shortcode pointing to a blank shortcode that
 returns only the content enclosed in the shortcode.

 This option is then loaded into $shortcode_tags when the file is loaded
 and each found run of add_shortcode replaces the blank function with it
 shortcode if the shortcode still exists.

 I hope this passes the elegance test. The only thing that concerns me is
 running update_option repeatedly. I'm not sure if that is doing a database
 call every time it runs but I would assume that it does.
