Difference between square and curly brackets around AS lists

Subject: Difference between square and curly brackets around AS lists

Square and curly brackets seem almost but not quite interchangeable around AS lists.

{1, 2, 3} & [[4, 5, 6]] --> {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

{1, 2, 3} & {{4, 5, 6}} --> {1, 2, 3, {4, 5, 6}}

Can anyone point to documentation or insight ?
