 When you paste a URL into a post, like so:
 {{{
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYlFN8euWtE
 }}}

 `wp_embed_register_handler()` will detect it and convert it to an embed:
 {{{
     <iframe width="610" height="343"
 src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jYlFN8euWtE?feature=oembed"
     frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
 }}}

 However, if you paste the link first into a Google doc or Word document,
 and then copy and past it in to WordPress, you end up with something like
 this:
 {{{
     <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYlFN8euWtE">
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYlFN8euWtE</a>
 }}}
 which `wp_embed_register_handler()` skips.

 It would be nice if that could be detected as an embed.
