Comment:

 In today's `test-triage` we were discussing if `wptexturize` uses were
 being taken too far, maybe. Judging by the docs, it's difficult to
 understand the scope of this function. It appears that it's open for too
 many use cases. You can use `wptexturize` from a whole HTML document to
 just for a paragraph (ranging from maximum complexity to something
 relatively trivial)

 @oglekler was suggesting that current exclusions are still very loose. So,
 for example, `iframe` should be, by default, in the list of exclusions
 (`default_no_texturize_tags`)

 I'm still not convinced for such exclusion, but I believe that docs should
 consider better explaining the scope of this function. Is it really
 intended to be a Swiss army for text styling almost any doc given? Or its
 better intended to just over trivial scenarios?

 Probably the looseness of this function is the main reason of the chain of
 tickets related to `wptexturize`. Adding `dev-feedback` for further
 discussion about this topic.
