I do, sorta. \p{Pattern_Syntax} isn't a superset of what quotemeta()
currently uses; things like NULL and the control characters aren't included
in the former, but are quoted by the latter.
Seems easy enough to resolve though: quotemeta should escape all non-word
character in the ASCII range, or those matching \p{Pattern_Syntax}.
