[issue] Braces and inline tags

After migrating a client’s site to 4.0.3, the client complained that the syntax he’d been using to add editorial comments, <code><notextile>[comment – ed.]</notextile></code> no longer worked.
I found the notes in the FAQ, and am grateful that I’ll no longer have to manually reformat things-like-this :)

However, as I was doing some testing to clarify things to the client, I did come across some interesting behaviour. Most notably, it appears that the brace is only necessary as a delimiter where whitespace is not present.

For example:

<notextile>
[test ] = [[test ]<br />
[ test] = [ test]]
</notextile>

will produce

[test ] = [test ]

[ test] = [ test]

I don’t know if this is by design, but I didn’t see it documented anywhere, so I thought it bore mentioning.
