17657	Shortcode regex doesn't allow for hyphens in shortcode name	sivel	koopersmith	"I found an issue where I wanted to use a string in a post for specifying a lightbox style ""album"" that looked like a shortcode.  

The code I was using looked something like:

{{{
<a href=""http://example.org/image.jpg"" rel=""lightbox[album-123]"">Image</a>
}}}

Another plugin was installed that had registered a shortcode for ""album"".  due to the '\b' in the regex the '-' is seen as the ending delimiter in the shortcode name, and the callback for 'album' was processed at this point.

I of course corrected the issue by prefixing the ""album"" name with a unique string, however I am thinking that we should perhaps update the regex so that some common characters often seen in strings for readability without spaces.

Plugin code to test:
{{{
add_shortcode('broken', 'broken');

function broken() {
	return 'Running the broken shortcode';
}
}}}

and then in a post:
{{{
[broken-shortcode]
}}}"	defect (bug)	closed	normal	3.5	Shortcodes	2.9.2	normal	fixed		webtools@… kovshenin@…
