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.

The single square brackets (as well as single curly braces and single parenthesis) are left out of Creole due to their frequent appearance in normal text.
Thank you for your suggestions on the consistent meaning of the characters. unfortuanatelly, Creole is not created in vacuum, and we are consider the compatibility with existing wiki markups an important goal. Also, most of Creole's markup is already pretty much decided.
Incidentally, it's already pretty much how you describe it. Square brackets are for all kinds of links, curly braces are for all kinds of inserted objects (be it nowiki, code or images), angle brackets are for macros and plugins, finally parenthesis are not used so far.
By the way, I took the freedom of removing the link to non-existing page "square brackets" from your text, as to avoid shallow pages.
