Code Inspection: Escaped meta character
Reports the escaped meta characters, e.g. \.. Some RegExp coding styles specify that meta characters should be placed inside a character class, to make the regular expression easier to understand. For example the regex \d+\.\d+ would be written as \d+[.]\d+. This inspection does not warn about the meta character [, ] and ^, because those would need additional escaping inside a character class.
