Comment:

 Honestly, I think that at this point we have to consider unregistered
 shortcodes to not be shortcodes at all. If you really need to use double
 brackets to escape unregistered shortcodes, just register them with
 {{{add_shortcode( 'shortcode', '__return_empty_string' )}}}

 I'm not saying this is "best case scenario", but I do think it's where we
 are right now for backwards compat, keeping the regexes as sane as
 possible, etc.
