Thanks for pointing that out.
However, that man page is generated by help2man.
And help2man-generated markup emboldens the program name (the "[", here)
in each synopsis line, so in one sense, it's not clear that it should do
anything differently.

Making the "]"s bold is possible, certainly, and would be a little more
readable.  Would you like to write a patch?  The way to do that would
be to modify coreutils' copy of help2man (in man/), in case you'd like
to fix it.
