regexp bug (literal dot)

[Vladimir Sekissov]

Good day,

willem>  From what I understand, in regexps, "." means 'any char' and "\." means a 
willem> literal dot.
willem> 
willem> So, the following is a bug:
willem> 
willem> 170> regexp:match("a", ".").
willem> {match,1,1}
willem> 
willem> 171> regexp:match("a", "\.").
willem> {match,1,1}  % shouldn't match!

But 
(test1@REDACTED)31> regexp:match(".", "\\.").
{match,1,1}
