https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/GUIDE.md says:

(Note: We escape the ( here because ( has special significance inside regular expressions. You could also use rg -F 'fn write(' to achieve the same thing, where -F interprets your pattern as a literal string instead of a regular expression.)
