That's not 100% true.
1. If the first character of a set is a close bracket and there's no open bracket in
the set, then it will match:
[]0-9] will match ]0123456789
2. If the open bracket is anywhere in the set without a close bracket, it'll match:
[0-9[] will match [0123456789
[[0-9] will match [0123456789
3. If you set a range in your set that starts with an open bracket and goes until a
tilde, then it'll match:
[[-^] will match [/]^
4. If you use a grouping with a pipe, you can fake the brackets:
(\[|/]|[0-9]) will match []0123456789
And you can always use the [[:punct:]]. :)
