There's a Regex.quoteReplacement in the standard library, but no Regex.quote. Given that quoting regex metacharacters is a common operation, I think it's a bit ugly that one has to drop down to the Java API every time.

I haven't submitted this PR yet, but what do you think of:

https://github.com/som-snytt/scala/blob/a2e243369c18a5c1991dfff59644d710fa6395b5/src/library/scala/util/matching/Regex.scala#L467

"a*b".r.quoted with the additional use case r"a*b".quoted for the regex interpolator.

Open question how to compose quoted parts; I haven't looked at it, but it must be nicely done somewhere. E.g., {code}(a*b){code} is {code}s"(${Pattern quote "ab"})*".r{code}, is there a nicer way.

Complementary, not competing:

scala/scala#3343

It allows for instance:

    val q = "[]".r.quoted
    val r = s"Array$q".r
