Properly handle meta-characters from Java regexes #12

Description

@hyperpape

There are a number of unsupported meta-characters that the standard Java regexes support. While I don't know if I'd support all of them, we should make sure that, for sake of avoiding confusion, it's not true that this library will parse them and give them a meaning different from what the standard library does.

Case in point:

backreferences: \1
quotation: \Q, \E
reluctant quantifiers: X??

possibly others.
