#1 Optionally parse shortcodes in other fields

Normally, shortcodes are only parsed inside of the post content.

E.g. for custom fields, it's as simple as this:
`echo do_shortcode(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'custom_field', true));`

See:

We should be able to add filters to the_title, the_excerpt, etc.:
`add_filter( 'the_title', 'parse_shortcodes' );`

It'd be really handy to be able to filter custom fields as well:
