     * Here is the rationale. First, filename patterns do not include escape
     * combinations such as \r or \n. Moreover, characters which have special
     * meaning in logback parsers, such as '{', or '}' cannot be part of file names
     * (so me thinks). The left parenthesis character has special meaning only if it
     * is preceded by %. Thus, the only characters that needs escaping are '%' and
     * ')'.

     * Note that this method assumes that it is called after the escape character
     * has been consumed.
