The \eQ...\eE sequence is recognized both inside and outside character classes. |

An isolated \eE that is not preceded by \eQ is ignored. |
An isolated \eE that is not preceded by \eQ is ignored. If \eQ is not followed |
224 |
|
by \eE later in the pattern, the literal interpretation continues to the end of |
225 |
|
the pattern (that is, \eE is assumed at the end). If the isolated \eQ is inside |
226 |
|
a character class, this causes an error, because the character class is not |
227 |
|
terminated. |
