 * Hey guys! Love the idea for this plugin, exactly what I needed. I see the other
   conversations you’ve had regarding shortcodes in the forums. But there is actually
   a bug.
 * By default in Gutenberg when you convert a post to blocks, it will retain a shortcode
   by dumping it into a a shortcode block. No content is lost. With your plugin,
   the shortcode block gets created, but it’s empty. So you’re not actually mimicking
   the same process as Gutenberg does when you click “Convert to Blocks.”
 * I’ve confirmed this with a few tests after installing your plugin. I see in your
   response to a few others, that you are suggesting to open a ticket with WordPress/
   Gutenberg. But conversions of shortcodes works fine when using the “Convert to
   Blocks.” It doesn’t when using your plugin.
 * Just wanted to give you a heads up! I would suggest taking another look at that.
 * Thanks. I’m happy to provide any additional info if needed.
