* Stop escaping ? and {. As of SQL:2008, SIMILAR TO is defined to have
POSIX-compatible interpretation of ? as well as {m,n} and related constructs,
so we should allow these things through to our regex engine.
* Escape ^ and $. It appears that our regex engine will treat ^^ at the
beginning of the string the same as ^, and similarly for $$ at the end of
the string, which meant that SIMILAR TO was effectively ignoring ^ at the
start of the pattern and $ at the end. Since these are not supposed to be
metacharacters, this is a bug.
The second part of this is arguably a back-patchable bug fix, but I'm
hesitant to do that because it might break applications that are expecting
something like "col SIMILAR TO '^foo$'" to work like a POSIX pattern.
Seems safer to only change it at a major version boundary.
Per discussion of an example from Doug Gorley.
