stringMap: Unexpected replacement when search value includes dot about rtlcss HOT 1 CLOSED

Your search term will match any character followed by "css"

"a.b/css".match(/(.css)/);` // will match "/css"
"a.css".match(/(.css)/);` // will match ".css"

Using the examples you provided, escaping the dot (search:'\\.css') will work with @import url("//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,600,700"); because there will be no match. But will fail in @import url(common.css);, since the match .css will be replaced by the search term "\.css" producing @import url(common\.css);

This is because the StringMap is bi-directional, it matches both search and replace then checks if the match is equal to search term, if yes its replaced with replace term, if not it will assume the match was for the replace term and replace it with search term.

Not sure if the explanation was clear enough! But I should have escaped the stringMap terms internally from the start.

Thanks!
