Isn't \c supposed to match any character c, stripping it of any special meaning?
;match_regexp("^.+_[0-9]+", "$foo_1")
--> [[1, 6], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0],
[0, 0]]
(Used 4 ticks, 0 seconds.)
;match_regexp("^\$.+_[0-9]+", "$foo_1")
-> 0

Doesn't seem to work. If this is a known bug, please excuse my ignorance.
