A literal regexp is a string which contains no special characters. A literal regexp matches an identical string, but no other characters. For example:
literally
matches
literally
and nothing else.
Generally, whitespace characters, numbers, and letters are not special. Some punctuation characters are special and some are not (the syntax summary at the end of this chapter makes a convenient reference for which characters are special and which aren't).
