Wikipedia supports what I considered common usage:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket
There are four main types of brackets:
* round brackets or parentheses: ( )
* square brackets or box brackets: [ ]
* curly brackets or braces: { }
* angle brackets or chevrons: < >
I don't remember {} being called anything but braces in a programming
context. When I read the log message, I thought Ramiro was talking
about []. Then I thought that this could not make sense and thought he
was referring to () instead...
