tor's man page for OutboundBindAddress* options say:

since it does not throw an error without square brackets: does it make any difference?

Previously I forgot the square brackets when generating torrc files with relayor and I would like to document the impact of my bug (if there is any).

I posting somewhere about normalizing IPv6 address format, it might have listed the RFC, for which the man page and code was probably inconsistant. Similar to how fingerprints are a mess.
