Review Comment:
   We can't merge this in line 89 as this requires look-ahead at the next 
character - we could do that as well, but instead of look-ahead, we look-back 
here. So if c = '\\', we don't know if it should be escaped or not. We should 
escape it if the next character is not a SQL wildcard. So, this cannot be 
merged with line 89 where we escape every meta character (this is why '\\' was 
removed from the meta characters list).
   
   Let me know if I'm missing something here.
