I don't think that any design documentation defined or tabulated what is
a bracketing character:

  http://google.com/search?q=site%3Adev.perl.org+%22bracketing+character%22

let alone how a user selects more of them.

'{' clearly is a bracketing character. But '/' wasn't?
Can I select # as a bracketing character for my obfuscations? :-)
