Code Inspection: Redundant character escape

Reports character escapes that are replaceable with the unescaped character without a change in meaning. Note that inside the square brackets of a character class, many escapes are unnecessary that would be necessary outside of a character class.

Example:
\-\;[\.]

After the quick-fix is applied:
-;[.]
