This was for \b within charclass, in JS some escapes behave differently within charclasses. In the case of \b within charclass it is interpreted as backspace. Implemented that now and removed TODO. The \b and \B escapes outside charclass (word boundary assertions) are not implemented yet.

Java/JS regex support for some escapes within character classes ([\s\S], etc.)
JS regex support for null escape (\0), identity escapes (\a, etc.), legacy octal escapes (\1, \012, \377, etc.) and fix for control letter escapes (different behavior regarding inside character class among other things)
