 There are times when we want to call a shortcode programmatically.
 Currently, the easiest way to do this is `do_shortcode( '[shortcode]' )`.
 But that does lots of unnecessary work. A developer has two alternatives:
 1. Manually search through the source and find the function that handles
 the shortcode, and call it directly. The only problem is that this doesn't
 offer a very forward-compatible solution, especially when the shortcode is
 being offered by a plugin.
 1. Search through `$shortcode_tags` to find and call the function. That's
 more forward-compatible, but it kind of seems hacky.

 I'd like to request that we offer a core function that does number 2
 rather than each developer having to implement it themselves.

 Example:

 {{{
 call_shortcode_func( 'shortcode', $atts, $content );
 }}}

 (We can change the name of the function.)

 Patch forthcoming.
