I recently tried to use ] as an index in an associative array. While
it works fine after the array is declared, I could not figure out a
way to include it in the initial declaration.
To reproduce:
declare -A aarr
aarr[\]]=rbrac
declare -p aarr # this should print a legal declaration for aarr
eval

Cannot reproduce in bash 4.3-beta2.
