Huh? Did you read the first paragraph…?-)

Quoted, for your convenience (my highlight):
> An opening square bracket introduces a character class, terminated by a closing square
> bracket. A closing square bracket on its own is not special. **If a closing square bracket is
> required as a member of the class, it should be the first data character in the class** (after
> an initial circumflex, if present) or escaped with a backslash.

It says so right there, no? This is the way it's been in several languages I've
used throughout the years. I guess they just didn't have escaping inside
character classes in the olden days ;-)
