Thanks, Tom, I wasn't aware of that. In fact, I wasn't aware of the feature
at all until some time ago. It's a pity it has disadvantages, because I
quite liked the reduced typing!

Just some added info:
Simplifying to [A1]
is not recommended (in my opinion) as it is many times slower

?Range("A1").Value
Since Value is default for a formula, you can also use
?Range("A1")
Which can be simplified to
?[A1]
