Believe it or not, I've actually run into this problem. Thanks to you, I now understand something that was utterly baffling me. I *had* a bunch of text files from back in my old linux/emacspeak days that *used* double square brackets as the start and end of markup. I had abbsolutely no idea why they were so hard to look at until now, <grin>.
Gosh, this is taking me back a very long way into my computing past. Way back when, I used to use a computer called a Eureka a4. Back then, if you typed an exclamation mark followed by a percent sign you could get the machine to do all kinds of stuff. Play sounds, increase/ decrease speed, make weird clicking noises and, most bizarely, make the thing speak in phonetics until you sent the command to stop it.. At least I *think* that was the prefix. It *was* a lot of years ago.
