Or am I overlooking something?
Obviously harmless if the square brackets are both sides. I had never noticed that unescaped [] were not treated as special characters in some syntaxes of Posix "tr".
Strangely I don't usually put [] for single characters but it ended up like that after simplifying the command.
The "tr" command line modifies the default translation table for that locale. There is no additional processing when the translate itself takes place.
