Simple Hyphen-Minus should not be escaped

[tyge68]

Currently if you escape a string with Hyphen-Minus in it it get converted to some \x2d which is then not working once executing the regexp search (for example with postgresql regexp_replace(....) which accept regexp.

I am not sure if that is an issue in postgresql or in this library, still to me it doesn't seem like minus would actually need to be escaped.
Example:

escapeRegExp('some-value-to-escape')

it returns 'some\x2dvalue\x2dto\x2descape' which is not really required for regexp I think, but maybe I am wrong.
In any cases I couldn't then use this library for my usecase.

\x2d should work fine in PostgreSQL’s regexp_replace. How are you using it?

SELECT regexp_replace('foo-bar-baz', '\x2d', '_', 'g');

regexp_replace
foo_bar_baz

Hyphens need escaping in general when used in character classes ([chars]).
