the <'s and >'s of generics are certainly kinds of brackets...I just spent a few minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with an expression that had one too many <'s...
Sounds more like an enhancement. Please note that this is not trivial, as '<' have different meanings in different contexts, so it is not possible to simply consider '<' and '>' to be brackets.
