If a ward is named something like "Trinity-Spadina (19)", then the parentheses must be escaped with a helper like this
The \b metacharacter doesn't match correctly if a district name starts or ends with a parenthesis. Wasn't getting a match until I removed the \\b at the end.
This is very unexpected behaviour, and not inconcievable that someone else could hit it and spend quite a bit of time sorting it out. May I submit a PR to:
Remove the "\b" metacharacters.
Add a utility function to escape the regex.
