#4810: Versions of bracket without masking acquire action

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
With new mask/restore concept it is impossible to unblock exceptions in
acquire action which is quite often useful (acquire can be a lengthily
action). So it could be a good idea to introduce a variant which has
acquire action unmasked.
Of course I could write:
{{{
mask $ \restore -> bracket (restore . open) (close) (restore . work)
}}}
but this is just ugly.
So I am proposing `bracket'` or `bracketUnmasked` or something.
