Add a way to escape vars for Tasker pattern matching

Escaping is pretty much a requirement for languages/syntaxes to work well. There's currently no way to escape special characters for Tasker pattern matching.

I also know you can use regexes as a workaround but it's suboptimal if the matching should be indeed simple.

Var Escape action is what I see as a solution to this. With a potential for a dropdown for other syntaxes, like regexes, which could just use a Java function like Pattern.quote or whatever is regularly used.
