re_escape

<code>re_escape</code> escapes all special characters in a string. This function is useful when you want to treat a
string literally in a regular expression context, escaping characters that would otherwise be interpreted as special
regex operators.

A comprehensive set of regular expression functions based on those found in 'Python'
without relying on 'reticulate'. It provides functions that intend to (1) make it easier for
users familiar with 'Python' to work with regular expressions, (2) reduce the complexity often
associated with regular expressions code, (3) and enable users to write more readable and
maintainable code that relies on regular expression-based pattern matching.
