This must have been suggested before, but it would be great to have a built-in
function for quoting text in a RegExp.
For example:
```js
RegExp.quoteText = function (text) {
return text.replace(/[\^\$\\.*+?()[\]{}|]/g, '\\\$&');
};
```
If you wanted to be extra thorough, you could include parens, braces and
brackets.
