This failed for lack of a second.  The compelling argument was that it's pointless to make something a delimiter when it's undefined.

Different implementations use {} and [] for different non-standard things, typically as delimiters of some sort.  We could add them to the list of delimiters.  That would block them from being used in identifiers, which I think is a Good Thing.
