Usual regexps don't need a backslash in front of a closing ], since it
does not belong to an opening [. Also, between [ and ] a backslash is
just a backslash. If you want to include a ] inside [] it should be
first, since an empty range is quite useless so you get []] which should
also work. (Note I haven't tried this specifically with trn)
