Escaping Guide

Use JSON.stringify to do 1st pass escape
The second pass escape needed to escape reserve tokens of string.proto.replace()

Pattern	Inserts
$$	Inserts a "$".
$&	Inserts the matched substring.
$`	Inserts the portion of the string that precedes the matched substring.
$'	Inserts the portion of the string that follows the matched substring.
$n	Where n is a positive integer less than 100

$n inserts the nth parenthesized submatch string, provided the first argument was a RegExp object. Note that this is 1-indexed.
