You would unconditionally get "[" and "]" that you may or may not want and
there is no way to change it to "(1/2)" or "1 of 2: "; unless we shoot for
a completely flexible solution, we need to draw a line somewhere.

It was not optimal in the hindsight to draw the line where the prefix is
customizable, while always assuming that people would want some prefix,
perhaps.

which I think is a reasonable thing to do.

Will queue; thanks.
