[,] - left and right brackets
.SH CALLING SEQUENCE

[a11,a12,...;a21,a22,...;...]
[s1,s2,...]=func(...)

.SH PARAMETERS
.TP 15
a11,a12,...
: any matrix (real, polynomial, rational,\fVsyslin\fR list ...) with appropriate dimensions
.TP 15
s1,s2,...
: any possible variable name
.SH DESCRIPTION
Left and right brackets are used to note vector and matrix concatenation.
These symbols are also used to denote a multiple left-hand-side for a function 
call
.LP
Inside concatenation brackets, blank or comma characters mean 
"column concatenation", semicolumn and carriage-return mean 
"row concatenation".
.LP
Note : to avoid confusions it is safer to use commas instead of blank to
separate columns.
.LP
Within multiple lhs brackets variable names must be separated by comma.
