m() should be able to tolerate "[" as a tag and do the right thing about it.

[dead-claudia]

Mithril Version: 2.0.0-rc.3

Expected Behavior

m("[", attrs, ...children) should be equivalent to m.fragment(attrs, ...children)

Current Behavior

Mithril treats it like a DOM element, which is obviously the wrong thing to do here.

Possible Solution

Add && selector !== "[" to this condition and duplicate all the basic fragment tests to check that it works equivalently with m("[", ...) (you could just wrap all the tests in a factory that is passed both m.fragment and function () { return m.apply(null, ["["].concat(arguments)) } to create the fragment. Yes, it's that simple.

Steps to Reproduce

Context

It makes it basically impossible to use pragmaFrag: "'['"//* @jsxFrag '[' */ with Babel (which does actually work)
