Support for square brackets

[Ekalips]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no support for wildcards like this: "tes[tqs]" or "test[1-5]"

Describe the solution you'd like
I would really appreciate support of wildcards with square brackets.
I already tried to add custom rules with "[" -> "[" and "]" -> "]" but even if brackets appear in final regex - character range doesn't work, because it get's escaped.

You can create a JWildcardRule this way now JWildcardRule("[1-9]"), and this will leave the regex string untouched. Use version 1.3

Thanks for your work.
But I think this wouldn't quite work for me. In your example string "[1-9]" will be just replaced with "[1-9]" and that's OK for that case, but that way I need to provide individual rule for all possible regex combinations (eg "[1-2]", "[a-c]" and many many others). What I asked for was literally keeping anything between square brackets (cuz there can be really high number of combinations).

Thank you for detailed description. I think I understood you now.
Here is my suggestion on how to provide you such a functionality:

JWildcardEnclosingRule
- String open - start enclosing character or string
- String bodyRegex - an enclosed body regex. default all (.*)
- String close - end enclosing character or string

So in your case, you will need to create a rule like this:

new JWildcardEnclosingRule("[", ".*", "]")

or

JWildcardEnclosingRule.builder()
    .open("[")
    .body(".*")
    .close("]")

Tell me please whether it solves your issue.
And If you (@Ekalips ) have an alternative solution, I will be glad to hear it.

Yeah, I think first variant (with constructor) will do it for my issue.
I don't see the need in builder because there are no cases where we would use only "open" and "body" for example.

And Wildcard to Regex converter must preserve anything that found for that JWildcardEnclosingRule
with "[.*]"). And examples would be:

1. "test[1-4]" -> "test[1-4]" ( "test" would also be escaped)
2. "test[1-4]" -> "test[1-4]." ("test" would also be escaped)
3. "test[1-4]?" -> "test[1-4]." ("test" would also be escaped)
