Comment:

 @jeremyclarke has a point when says that image caption content should go
 between [caption] shortcode tags.

 A fix could be achieved with minimum backcompat impact by separating the
 [caption] shortcode from `img` tag. To explain, we could move the
 [caption] before (makes more sense to me, or after) the `img` tag, so when
 the parser meets it, the context is not lost.

 On the javascript side, that would mean little changes too.

 Example:
 `[caption stuff=""]My awesome caption[/caption]<img src="" alt=""/>`

 The good part here, is that basically we do no make changes in the
 shortcode api (no overhead like mustaches `{{}}`) we just change the
 location of it inside the `post_content`.
