Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Put "[]" in your code.
2. Stare at DM.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
/world/New()
var/s = "[]"
for(var/i = 1 to length(s))
world.log << text2ascii(s, i) // 255, 2
Expected Results:
"[]" would not compile outside of a text() call.
Actual Results:
"[]" compiled.
