complicated scenario:
bash# cat foo.sh
var='[hello'
echo "${var//[/}"
red='\[\e[0;31m\]'
echo "${red//\\[\\e/}"
bash# /usr/local/bash-4.1.9/bin/bash foo.sh
hello
[0;31m\]
bash# /usr/local/bash-4.2.0/bin/bash foo.sh
[hello
\[\e[0;31m\]
bash# /usr/local/bash-4.2.0-fix/bin/bash foo.sh
hello
\[\e[0;31m\]
