 Replying to [comment:3 namith.jawahar]:
 > What about related functions like do_shortcodes_in_html_tags and filters
 like pre_do_shortcode_tag

 Good question, thanks! For consistency, I think we can use the new naming
 for them as well.

 Functions:
 * `do_shortcode_tag()` → `apply_shortcode_tag()`. Since the original
 function is marked as private, we can probably deprecate it in favor of
 the new one. Looking at the
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01G4DQ9YHXHCRVMF4QCJWPAGMR usage in
 plugins], most instances appear to be false positives or copies of the
 function.
 * `do_shortcodes_in_html_tags()` → `apply_shortcodes_in_html_tags()`. The
 original function is not marked as private and is
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01G4DQFRSFQ6WKYMB5SYCXMDR1 used in about
 15 plugins]. It can be up for discussion whether to deprecate it too, or
 keep as an alias of the new one.

 Filters:
 * `pre_do_shortcode_tag` → `pre_apply_shortcode_tag`.
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01G4DQY6DBSZXXXBNWDE1CJXWT Used in about
 25 plugins].
 * `do_shortcode_tag` → `apply_shortcode_tag`.
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01G4DR1K3ZVBDBJ3RNYQ2QCXJ2 Used in about
 132 plugins]. Looks like we'll have to keep the old filters as aliases for
 a while, though using `apply_filters_deprecated()` for them  can also be
 an option.

 As a side note, we might want to the same for `do_blocks()` →
 `apply_blocks()` in a separate ticket.
