It makes the preceding * less "greedy". I don't think it has any effect on the set of strings matched by this regexp, though, which is a simple string suffix check.

- account42 4y agoI don't think that's clearer because for [.] I need to remember that . does not need to be escaped in character classes whereas \. is quite clearly an escaped literal character without any advanced regexp knowledge.
