Package: worklog
Version: 1.8-7
Severity: normal

I guess I've never typed a "[" in all the years of using this package.

Today, I had a typo, and accidentally entered a left bracket, and the program
chokes on it, because it is trying to parse the time field, and as a result
ignores that line completely.  It does print an error on program exit.

I don't know if escaping the bracket, or simply not allowing brackets in
the descriptions is easier.  I don't know when I'll get around to looking
at the code, but I would probably aim at eliminating brackets from the
description field as the easiest solution.
