An advantage of using double breackets only is that we'll then
be able to use single brackets as regular punctuation, which would
be especially handy in math articles, among others.
Btw, what is also used in math articles is curly brackets ('{') for sets
such as {1, 2, 3} and { f(x) | x in S }. So if you are going to use them for
mark-up (I seem to remember you wanted to use them for styles) I'd prefer
them doubled ( {{...}} ) or tied in with some other symbol( [{..}] ),
