fix 'multiple repeat' error from regex for c++ filetypes #63

unescaped ++ is invalid regex causing easytag to fall back to the vimscript highlighting which does not split the regex into small chunks that vim can handle.

Thanks for spotting the bug and contributing a fix! During the merge I changed the relevant line to use re.escape(). That way no matter what funky characters are embedded in file type names, it will work regardless. That's how I should have done it the first time around, but evidently it didn't occur to me back then :-). Happy Vimming!
