Hey, and thanks for your translation work!
NOTE: I didnn't really try this, this is just a quick answer.
I think those signs [ | and ] are just what is called "metasyntax" [1]
In this case, [...] seems to mean that what goes in [] is optional,
that is:
index [full]
means you can either say "index" or "index full". And ...|... means
either... or, for example:
send-unmatched last|-1
means you can say "send-unmatched last" or "send-unmatched -1" (both
seem to mean the same thing). Finally
send-unmatched [this|0]
means you can say "send unmatched this", "send-unmatched 0" or just simply
"send-unmatched". Those also seem to mean the same thing.
