Comment:

 I am not in favor of changing this.  It's baked in and had no traction
 here.

 I would like to see the docblock corrected/updated in 4.4.  It should
 describe any situation where the attributes regex failure causes a string
 return.

 I am working on a roadmap where we might have a separate attribute parser
 for new shortcodes.  It will be easier to make improvements in that future
 system.
