Julian Reschke commented on JCR-4042:
-------------------------------------
Sounds good in general.
That said, I'd be careful with handling escaping inconsistently due to compat
concerns. Let's just treat "\something" as "something" consistently.
> Adding Escape Character in GQL

>
> Currently GQL does not have a escape character. Adding the escape character
> will help in special character cases for example where a search term contains
> both colon(:) and quote(") character.
> for example search string is foo:bar, if term is put in quote "foo:bar" and
> this whole term is considered as a single search value.
> But in case user need to search foo"abc:bar then putting this term in quotes
> won't work. But if GQL will have a escape character, then user can search
> this term using escape character.
