what, sorry, mailing stuff isnt much clear to me, ... its not possible to
have a var=\'\] ; assoc[$var] ?

You can if assoc is declared an associative array before:

$ (LANG=C; unset var assoc; var=\'\]; assoc[$var]=hello; typeset -p assoc)
bash: ']: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "']")

but:

$ (LANG=C; unset var assoc; var=\'\]; declare -A assoc; assoc[$var]=hello; 
typeset -p assoc)
declare -A assoc=(["']"]="hello" )
