Fixed, close.

dualbus@yaqui:~$ declare -A foo
dualbus@yaqui:~$ foo=(['ab]']=bar )
dualbus@yaqui:~$ declare -p foo
declare -A foo='(["ab]"]="bar" )'

For example:

declare -A foo
foo['ab]']=bar

will work perfectly fine, but:

foo=( ['ab]']=bar )

will end with following error:

-bash: [ab]]=bar: bad array subscript
