Why not take a different, far more flexible angle?

	for ($label[$i]) {   # $_ is alias
		/(\w+)\((\w+)/ and $_ = "$1 [$2]";
	}

Advantage: if you ever want to completely turn around the output format,
you're free to do so. The more "hardwired" solutions like those
presented so far, are not so flexible.
