Hello,

while I was reading the post from 'elias', a fairly old question came in my mind which 
I've not get any answer yet.
Maybe you can do it.

There is a function quotemeta() which escapes all special regexp character such as:
    . \ + * ? [ ^ ] ( $ )
with a '\' except one the  '|' pipe.

what reason for this behaviour?
