Subject: how to use character range [] in substitution pattern :gs
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I'm trying to use the the [] character range to substitute for embedded 
parenthesis as in the following:

% echo ${x:gs/[()]/_/}

But This isn't working for some reason. It's not complaining about 
syntax, so I'm pretty sure that I'm using the character range [] 
incorrectly somehow.

Any help appreciated.
