           Summary: Having square brackets in the names of data objects,
                    scalars, etc. can bork parsing.

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)

The parser fails when the string which it is parsing has double square brackets (eg. [[), so if there are square brackets in the unique name of a data object or scalar which you are trying to include in a label or equation string, it probably won't work.

Maybe we should exclude square brackets from this list of characters allowed in unique names? We'll probably also have to change the way in which matrices are input, because I believe that right now they require [ ] brackets for the column title describing the matrix.
