Description
Documentation for Selectors contains following part:
«If you wish to use any of the meta-characters (
#;&,.+*~':"!^$[]()=>|/@) as a literal part of a name, you must escape the character with two backslashes:
\\\\. For example, if you have an an input with
name="names[]", you can use the selector
$("input[name=names\\\\[\\\\]]").»Internet Explorer versions below 8 do not understand selectors with double backslashes before meta-characters in names.
For example, selector
$('input[name="files\\\\[\\\\]"]') does not find tag <input name="files[]" />, while selectors
$('input[name="files\\[\\]"]'), $('input[name="files[]"]') and $('input[name=files[]]') finds it in all browsers.Which version of the selector is correct?
Please, represent your answer in documentation.
And sorry for my english, I hope you understand me.

Upd: it seems like this belongs only to "find" method
