The square brackets are there simply to indicate this is an optional argument.

You can sometimes even come across methods that have nested brackets -
e.g. something( arg1 [, arg2 [, arg3 ]] ) - this simply means that all
arguments except the first are optional. This is a quite widely used
convention, also present in, for example, PHP documentation.
