Stop confusing me ;-) Just before writing the mail, I had a look at my 
dictionary because I've never managed to know how those following 
symbols are called in english:

() [] {}

My dictionary told me:

() brackets or parenthesis (for US)
[] square brackets
{} braces or curly brackets

When I said: 'so brackets are not possible in this example', I meant 
parenthesis :-)

Two minutes ago, I verified in wikipedia and it seems that 'Bracket' is 
the superclass of Parenthesis.

Which one is correct :-) ?
