>>I've always been under the
impression that to match a meta-character, you have to escape it.

In general, yes. But under some circumstances, like in a range of 
characters,
some special characters are not special anymore, so they don't need to 
ne escaped.

However, escaping them anyway will work as well.
There are so many things to remenber about Regex, that the rule "always 
escape special chars"
is simpler to remember.
