Does not handle escape sequences well

I've been trying to make this work with escape sequences, and have pretty much run up my clock on the task. Consider wishing to supply a RegExp related value in JSON, like so:
{"timeStampRegex": "<\\d+>(\\w+ \\d{2} \\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}).*"}

Currently, analyze() removes the escape characters. I figured that supplying a "raw string to analyze" could be a good workaround, and open analyze up to accepting either an object (when escape sequences and/or special characters are not needed) or a raw string, in which case a desire for exact preservation is assumed.

I thought I might be able to get somewhere with String.raw`<\\d+>(\\w+ \\d{2} \\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}).*`; and I think this is still an important element for the tests, but somehow, I think the values need to be double stringified: ie, input json string -> JSON.stringify -> JSON.parse to allow the eventual written value to maintain the exact string value supplied.

Would love to hear if you have any ideas about how to approach this problem.
