I think this hasn't been discussed at the VOQL WG.

So this is my personal thinking.

In the SQL standard, a double quatation can be placed by repeating it.

  e.g.  abc"def --> "abc""def"

So, if we apply this pattern to the ADQL bracket delimiter,

  e.g.  [O/Fe] --> [[[O/Fe]]]

or there are some other proposals ?

We need decide how to treat this kind of case.
