Add backspace [\b] character class #14

Closed MaxGraey closed 3 years ago

Thanks @MaxGraey - although I don't think this implementation is correct. The regex \b matches a word boundary, whereas [\b] matches a backspace.

I know so I tied cover only [\b] case (backspace). I think in this case it is no different from \t, \n ant others. Should I do some extra checks for matching \b?

No, I'm afraid not.
