Match-self Operator

The Match-self Operator (ORDINARY CHARACTER)
============================================

  This operator matches the character itself.  All ordinary characters
(see Regular Expression Syntax.) represent this operator.  For
example, `f' is always an ordinary character, so the regular expression
`f' matches only the string `f'.  In particular, it does *not* match
the string `ff'.
