I apologize if this is a repeat. It's in my sent items, but I haven't
seen it on the list yet. I edited the message bit, and added a bit more:

And if the cursor is in front of the the first < symbol and I hit the
S-<up> key once (or if I use M-x org-toggle-timestamp-type), I get
[2009-01-29 Thu]--<2009-01-29 Thu>
but a second time, I get
<2009-01-29 Thu]--<2009-01-29 Thu]
That suggests to me that the regular expression isn't symmetric w.r.t.
square brackets and curly brackets. I kinda know perl regex, but am
completely unfamiliar with elisp's version.
