…umentation. (GH-16442)

Prior to 3.7, re.escape escaped many characters that don't have
special meaning in Python, but that use to require escaping in other
tools and languages. This commit aims to make it clear which characters
were, but are no longer escaped..
(cherry picked from commit 15ae75d)
