 > If you'd like me to research the technical implications of allowing the
 '[' character inside of a shortcode, I could entertain that thought.

 Up to WordPress 3.9, left square brackets in shortcode parameters were
 accepted without a problem.
 Right square brackets could not be used; more often than not they simply
 ended the shortcode.

 IMHO: There's probably little point in re-enabling support for left square
 brackets without allowing right square brackets as well.

 BTW: Nice codex updates.
