Small bug in the autocomplete plugin

Description

There is a problem with the autocomplete plugin.

Take a look at

 http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.js

around line 510

The highlight function constructs a RegExp by concatinating strings, one of which is term. Term is entered by the client. If it contains special symbols like '(' - the constructor of the RegExp fails.

Workarounds: set another highlight function.

Fix: Escape the term string.

I am attaching a patch that works for me. There is a static regexp in there that can be optimized further.
