You don't need to. [ will never appear on a title, as [ is reserved for
[[links]]. It also skips the need to escape the \ (see the long thread
about an escape char).
I'd prefer the syntax to be
[Foo] matches Foo or nothing (also match blank?)
{Foo|Bar} matches Foo or Bar.
[Foo|Bar] matches Foo, Bar or nothing (or blank?)
Why not use the following:
[Foo] matches Foo
[Foo|] matches Foo or nothing (or blank?)
[Foo|Bar] matches Foo or Bar.
[Foo|Bar|] matches Foo, Bar or nothing (or blank?)
Then there is only one syntax.
