bpo-38294: Add list of no-longer-escaped chars to re.escape documentation. (GH-16442)
Prior to 3.7, re.escape escaped many characters that don't have special meaning in Python, but that use to require escaping in other tools and languages. This commit aims to make it clear which characters were, but are no longer escaped.

This is useful if you want to match an arbitrary literal string that may

have regular expression metacharacters in it. For example::

>>> print(re.escape('python.exe'))

python\.exe
