Testing Instructions
Fire up this PR and enable the content only experiment.
Open a new page or post and insert of the page patterns mentioned above.
The patterns within those patterns should be parsed, and therefore, they'll be in "content only" mode in the editor.
You'll be able to tell because the list view will show the pattern icons, and the block inspector will show their editable fields.
