 * I just wanted to let you know that someone reached out to me (a fellow plugin
   author) and asked about how to get your WP Float plugin to process shortcodes.
   I provided them with a solution that didn’t require editing your plugin. Since
   you could implement this in your plugin easily, I decided to drop you a line 
   out of common courtesy and point you to the solution we came up with:

 * Perhaps your users would appreciate the additional flexibility that this would
   provide.
 * Side note: It appears as though you don’t test your plugin with
 * `define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );`
 * set in your wp-config.php file.
