| `rawHandler` recurses into the content, so nested shortcodes and HTML are converted to blocks the same way pasted content is. |

@Mamaduka Tested with a variety of shortcodes. Nested shortcodes of the same type (e.g. [section]...[section]...[/section]...[/section] fail, but I think that's expected w/ the shortcode API and core's existing processing; it's non-greedy matching after all.
The more normal case of e.g.
[section][section2]<p>more-nested content</p>[/section2]<p>slightly-nested content</p>[/section]
transforming into a wrapper block works both in pasted content and when converting to blocks. 🙌
