Inside bracket expressions, the following are true:
ƒ The special characters ‘.’ , ‘*’, ‘[‘, and ‘\’ (period, asterisk, left bracket,
and backslash) lose their special meanings within a bracket
expression and become ordinary characters.
ƒ The character sequences ‘[.’, ‘[=’, and ‘[:’ (left bracket followed by a
period, equal sign, or colon) are special inside a bracket expression
and are used according to Table 8. Beginning Character Sequences in
Bracket Expressions. A valid expression and the matching
terminating sequence ‘.]’, ‘=]’, or ‘:]’ must follow these symbols.
