Strange: one can't write a collection with range [X-Y] where Y is the

I thought the following should work, but it doesn't:
/[@-\]]
Is it a bug that '\' after '-' in a collection is taken literally?
No, that's normal vi behaviour.
The context is Vim, not Vi:
:set nocp cpo&vim
\ is not special in a character range (it stands for itself) and to
include ] you need to specify it as the first character in the range.
Even with set 'cp', `\]' is still special. See:
:h cpo-\
Do you actually use Vi?
In the example you give
/[]@-\]
(knowing that \ is the character previous to ])
(my pattern `[@-\\]]' also made use of it)
So far, it looks like if Vim just forgot to implement a certain case.
There is no apparent reason why `\]' is allowed for X but not for Y in
a [X-Y] collection.
