Research direction

Start with the vim.easymotionJumpToAnywhereRegex setting and the regular-expression syntax it accepts. Verify how square and round brackets are represented in the configured value, then confirm that EasyMotion recognizes those characters as jump targets; the issue names no source file or test to run.
