Hello everybody.

How about standardizing something like RegExp.escape() ?
http://simonwillison.net/2006/Jan/20/escape/

It is trivial to implement, but it seems to me that this functionality 
belongs to the language - the implementation obviously knows better 
which characters must be escaped, and which ones don't need to.

Regards,

Jordan OSETE
