Subject: [PATCH] correction: Add a shortcode for a element highlighting a
 correction

Sometimes, it is necessary to update a blog post with some sort of
correction to the content. In the interests of transparency, we want to
show in the post that such a correction has been made, and why. This new
shortcode makes doing this really easy, and consistent.
