Props in shortcode are passed as an Array instead of Object

[Noel]

When trying to create a shortcode for our site I noticed an issue with the props argument received in the shortcode run function.

I cloned and ran the Elderjs template project to make sure our configuration was not causing the issue.

Steps to reproduce

• Clone the Elderjs template
• Edit the getting-started.md and add the box shortcode that is shown in the documentation page.

{{box type="gray"}}
  Your content here
{{/box}}

Expected output of props in the shortcode function
{ type: "gray" }

Actual
[ type: 'gray' ]

Sure, here's the output

I also tried it running wsl2 on Windows and had the same issue.
Here's the output of that.

Turns out this was a legacy issue with the forked https://github.com/elderjs/shortcodes. I've updated it to always return an object. It is part of the latest release of Elder.js.
