Comment (by mdawaffe):

 Some shortcodes may output markup that could be either inline or block.
 Imagine a shortcode that outputs an image tag.  The post author would
 expect that shortcode to be `wpautop()`ed the same way manually entering
 the image tag would be:
 * no additional markup if entered inline
 * `<br />` or `<p>` tags as appropriate if entered on its own line.

 Perhaps, just like our `no_texturize_shortcodes` filter, we should also
 have a `no_unautop_shortcodes` filter.

 That way, shortcode authors could opt out of being unautoped (that is, opt
 in to being `wpautop()`ed).

 Example patch attachment:12061.diff.
