------------------------
In English [[square bracket]]s have a legitimate and common use when abbreviating quotes. They are also used in [[diplomatic text]] which is the closest thing to wiki that ever existed prior to the 90s. Single square brackets must be left alone for these purposes, though double and triple of course do mean something.
It would be nice if the various types of brackets had a legitimate orthogonal rationale. For instance, square brackets could always be involved in linking, while curly braces could always be involved in deciding how text within them was to be displayed or interpreted, and parentheses could always call for processing or macros of some kind to be invoked. That would allow for useful extensions or combinations of conventions from various wikis. For instance, supporting the tikiwiki {{{ ((double parenthesis)) }}} to specifically mean a user-specific or group-specific version of a page, since tikiwiki uses [[gACL]] access control and unlike most wikis there is usually quite a bit of information about the end user. Allowing the regular {{{ [[internal link]] }}} notation to coexist as a generic, all-purpose, all-users-can-see this baseline version of the same thing.
