-character is a simple regular expression which matches that same
-character and nothing else. The special characters are @samp{$},
-@samp{^}, @samp{.}, @samp{*}, @samp{+}, @samp{?}, @samp{[}, and
-@samp{\}. The character @samp{]} is special if it ends a character
-alternative (see later). The character @samp{-} is special inside a
-character alternative. Any other character appearing in a regular
-expression is ordinary, unless a @samp{\} precedes it. (When you use
-regular expressions in a Lisp program, each @samp{\} must be doubled,
-see the example near the end of this section.)
