Description
Consider the following CSS:
```css
.bg-\\[url\\(https\\:\\/\\/example\\.com\\/image\\.png\\)\\] {
--un-url: url(https://example.com/image.png); background-image:var(--un-url);
}
```
The output from running the plugin is:
```css
.bg-\\[url\\(https\\:\\/\\/example\\.com\\/image\\.png\\)\\] {
background-image:undefined;
}
.bg-\\[url\\(https\\:\\/\\/example\\.com\\/image\\.png\\)\\]:\\/\\/example\\.com\\/image\\.png\\)\\]{
background-image:url(https://example.com/image.png);
}
```
The plugin seems to have an issue with escaping, or a variable directly following escaping.
