//! Pattern / literal escaping (mrab-regex's `regex.escape`).
//!
//! The escaping rules are chosen to reproduce the four examples in the
//! mrab-regex README:
//!
//! | `special_only` | `literal_spaces` | `escape("foo bar!?")` |
//! |----------------|------------------|-----------------------|
//! | false          | false            | `foo\ bar\!\?`        |
//! | true           | false            | `foo\ bar!\?`         |
//! | true           | true             | `foo bar!\?`          |

/// Escape `s` so it matches literally as a regex pattern (aggressive mode:
/// regex metacharacters plus spaces and common punctuation are escaped).

/// assert_eq!(eregex::escape("a.b*c"), r"a\.b\*c");
/// ```
pub fn escape(s: &str) -> String {
    escape_impl(s, false, false)

/// Like [`escape`] but only escapes regex "special" characters, leaving
/// non-special punctuation alone (mrab's `special_only=True`).

/// ```
