This seems backwards from what we discussed.  Shouldn't the characters only 
need escaping if the user is trying to use them as literals in a string (as a 
parameter value, for instance)?

So: 

${__regexFunction(${pattern},$1$,1,,,)}
        means that the regex function will use as it's pattern, whatever the value of 
the ${pattern} variable is.

${__regexFunction(\$\{pattern\},$1$,1,,,)}
        means that the regex function will use "${pattern}" as it's regular 
expression.

This would be far preferable, in my view, because then characters are only getting 
escaped in unusual situations.  Make sense?
