 Unlike other shortcode descriptions included in a page/post using the
 [[[[shortcode]]]] double [[[[ ... ]]]] convention to enable displaying the
 shortcode name in a post instead of the results, [[[[gallery]]]]  does not
 work. The editor insists on detecting [[[[gallery]]]] as a reference to
 the gallery for the special display treatment. This makes it nearly
 impossible to write a post about the gallery shortcode.

 I have not checked, but this may apply to other special case shortcodes
 (like images inserted via shortcodes from the media library), but it could
 be a general failure of TinyMCE to follow the [[[[shortcode]]]] convention
 for shortcodes that get special treatment by the editor.

 Sorry about the issues with using [[[[ and ]]]] - I couldn't find any way
 to escape the square brackets correctly.
