Subject: problematic use of [] in documentation
You use [] in the documentation to indicate optional elements. This is a bad idea because they are mistaken for literal syntax (arrayref). I'm filing this bug on behalf of a newcomer who was confused by this and produced broken code.

I try to explain the use on top of the docs, the first time the braces are used. Hopefully this clears the confusion. Thanks, Jenda
