Good point.

Okay.

I thought about that, but if (big if) we want to support arbitrary 
characters (maybe not) we'd have to provide an escaping method for 
close brackets.  I went for the single method for quoting (i.e., 
encase in double quotes).  But even when you don't use double quotes, 
my proposed parser will still strip initial and final whitespace as 
you said (e.g., [  realms  ] and [realms] are the same).

Okay, there's the example I needed. Thanks!
