Comment (by rmccue):

 Rewrote the patch. Since this is intended for internal use, it now returns
 a `WP_Error` on invalid arguments. (If you're doing output and would
 rather ignore stuff, probably best to call `do_shortcode` still.)

 If @nickciske's suggestion sounds OK, we could probably do it, but I think
 it's more trouble than it's worth. It'd introduce a fair bit of complexity
 into `do_shortcode` for an edge case that's better handled by a separate
 function, IMO.

 Testing shows it comes out barely faster than `do_shortcode`, but calling
 it is a fair bit nicer for internal use:
 {{{
 $old = do_shortcode( '[gallery columns="2" ids="19,20,21,22"]' );
 $new = do_single_shortcode( 'gallery', array( 'columns' => 2, 'ids' =>
 '19,20,21,22' ) );
 }}}

 (Plus, the error returns mean you can actually handle invalid codes rather
 than just getting back your input string.)
