Description
**Description of the false positive**
```go
var todoRE = regexp.MustCompile(`^// TODO (\Qhttps://github.com/FerretDB/\E([-\w]+)/issues/(\d+))$`)
```
That line is annotated with: "This regular expression has an unescaped dot before 'com', so it might match more hosts than expected when the regular expression is used."
What it misses is [`\Q...\E` escape syntax](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/syntax).
