Sure. For example, when I look at my Mode Line now, I see that the major more
is "Message[Notmuch]". When I look at the names of the currently open buffers,
I see "FOO" and "{FOO}" and "[FOO] BAR" and "FOO(BAR)". All this is "standard"
in Emacs. I have yet to see a buffer, or anything else, named `FOO BAR[ BAZ ]'.

But misses the point, for I set out to fix the name itself. I noticed the
documentation error only after the fact.
Every time I see "Org Src FOO BAR[ BAZ ]", it makes me think for a moment that I
must have misconfigured the mode line string or something. And why? Because it
looks "non-standard", like nothing else.
