\f[B]bp\f[R] is designed around this fact.
The default mode for bp patterns is \[lq]string pattern mode\[rq].
In string pattern mode, all characters are interpreted literally except
-for the backslash (\f[B]\[rs]\f[R]), which may be followed by a bp
-pattern (see the \f[B]PATTERNS\f[R] section below).
+for the backslash (\f[B]\[rs]\f[R]), which may be followed by an escape

Optionally, the bp pattern may be terminated by a semicolon
