Simetrical & Steve Bennett quotes intermixed:
Foo[Moo - matches the literal string Foo[Moo
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.
