Oh, good point.  I didn't know that anything between \Q and \E are
interpreted as literal characters.  Instead of the approach you are
proposing, perhaps it would make sense to extend this way of doing
things then?  For example some tests with CREATE CONVERSION do so.  It
looks much more portable than having to escape every dot.

I just double-checked this one, and the regex patterns there look
all correct.
