Erm... but "\." is a perfectly known escape sequence, so the question
should be "How should std.regex handle known escape sequences as in:
"[\.]"".
The dot inside a character set must not be escaped.

And that breaks ehm ... e.g. rdmd ;)
Anyhow I'm trying to pick a reasonable rule. 100% compatibility with old
regex would mean ignore '\' where not applicable. My only concerns with
it is future extensibility via \<character>.
