Issue summary:
The section titled "Filter Expressions - Reserved characters" states:
"The semicolon, comma, and backslash must all be backslash escaped when they
appear in an expression."
If I escape the backslash character, the expression is not interpreted
correctly.
If I do NOT escape the backslash, it works as expected.
Sample query filter (page queries that include a question mark -- the regex
rules state the question mark must be escaped with a backslash):
ga:pagePath=~\? when encoded as [...]%3D~%5C%3F works
but when escaping the backslash and encoding as [...]%3D~%5C%5C%3F does not
work.
