|
|||
|
|
<p>This returns true in all cases that <code>is_meta_character</code> returns true, but
|
|||
|
|
also returns true in some cases where <code>is_meta_character</code> returns false.
|
|||
|
|
For example, <code>%</code> is not a meta character, but it is escapeable. That is,
|
|||
|
|
<code>%</code> and <code>\%</code> both match a literal <code>%</code> in all contexts.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The purpose of this routine is to provide knowledge about what characters
|
|||
|
|
may be escaped. Namely, most regex engines permit “superfluous” escapes
|
|||
|
|
where characters without any special significance may be escaped even
|
|||
|
|
though there is no actual <em>need</em> to do so.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>This will return false for some characters. For example, <code>e</code> is not
|
|||
|
|
escapeable. Therefore, <code>\e</code> will either result in a parse error (which is
|
|||
|
|
true today), or it could backwards compatibly evolve into a new construct
|
|||
|
|
with its own meaning. Indeed, that is the purpose of banning <em>some</em>
|
|||
|
|
superfluous escapes: it provides a way to evolve the syntax in a compatible
|
|||
|
|
manner.</p>
