I hate dealing with arbitrary arguments. Those regex expressions still
don't feel 100% comfortable to me as to even why they seem to work. Trial and
error is not a good way to figure out patterns. Should have been able to do all
the escaping on one line, but something didn't like how I was adding backtick
to the character class.
So I'm not really sure my new form is functionally different, just trying
to match more closely how the reporter structured his change.
Also my torture line seems to have been mangled a little in the comment,
probably because markup is doing interpreting as well. The "X" is supposed to
be a backtick, but I can't get markup to render correctly:
`echo X "-Dfoo=dollar\$_backtick\X_single'_double\"_backslash\\"`
`ant --execdebug run
"-Dfoo=dollar\$_backtick\X_single'_double\"_backslash\\"`
Also those echo's in the post were for debugging each transform, and I see
you figured that out.
