- * - This is the inverse of {@link makeTreeRecord}.
  * - Takes a nested object and produces flat `[bracketPath, value]` pairs suitable for
  *   `FormData` or `URLSearchParams`.

  * - If all elements of an array are leaves, encodes them as multiple entries with the same key
  *   (e.g. `tags=a&tags=b`). Otherwise uses indexed bracket paths (e.g. `items[0]`, `items[1]`).
  * - Non-leaf values that aren't objects or arrays are silently skipped.
+ * - Empty arrays and objects produce no entries, and path delimiters in property
+ *   names are not escaped. The resulting format is therefore lossy.

  * **Example** (Flattening an object to bracket paths)
  *
- * ```ts
+ * ```ts import.meta.vitest
