Escaping of - not compatible with MongoDB

[marwej]

I do a MongoDB query like:

const query = {
    email: new RegExp('^' + escapeString(email) + '$', 'i'), // Case insensitive
};

In 3.0.0, this is not working with emails containing -. Do you know how I could write this using the new way to escape -?

I'm also using this library primarily to escape regex MongoDB queries. Any way to opt out of escaping - would be great.

Regular expression is invalid: PCRE does not support \L, \l, \N{name}, \U, or \u

Going back to the original \x2d will work for Mongo support.

Thanks @sindresorhus and @charmander! Just confirmed it's working for me.
