Those German words aren't actually geek -- these braces are commonly
known as "geschweifte Klammern" (literally "pony-tailed brackets") and
"spitze Klammern" (literally "pointy brackets").

To keep with the spirit, the other two should be called "Rund" and
"Eckig", respectively, because the common terms are "runde Klammern" (or
just "Klammern") and "eckige Klammern".
