- pjtr 7y agoI don't understand the reasons. What is the actual problem in this "even-odd problem"? How do all the other languages that have an equivalent function (Perl quotemeta, PHP preg_quote, Python re.escape, Ruby: Regexp.escape, Java Pattern.quote, C# Regex.Escape, Go QuoteMeta, Rust regex::escape) avoid or deal with this problem?
