I was only talking about Org. The problem there is that a square bracket
at the beginning of an item can prevent you from exporting the document,
which is clearly a bug.

I'd like to fix it, yes. It will not help you with older documents, but
what do you think about the export snippet exception I suggested?

I'm open to alternative solutions. Though, I'd like to have a solution
pushed to maint before Emacs release.

Not much. We want to take action when item's contents start with
a square bracket. But that will not happen if that item already has
a checkbox (in this case, contents first character doesn't mean much).
