Ah, lookit that... '[' is normally magic unless you escape it to
literal text, and '{' is normally literal text unless you escape it to
magic. Eerie, don't think I had occasion to put that to the test
before.
Hah, learn something new every day...
Been using "{#}" notation in lex/js/perl so long, don't think I had
occasion to actually use them in 'vim', else I would've run into that
problem before.
