Comment:

 A viable PHP variable name is basically *anything*, including emoji. So,
 no. I absolutely think that HTML is what shortcodes should follow (they
 are, after all, modeled a bit after it and are part of the content), not
 PHP.

 Also, this change could potentially break a ton of content that
 accidentally uses uppercase letters (but the code works fine).
