title: wordcound configuration invalid escape character
body: <p>I'm trying to configure the <a href="https://github.com/titoBouzout/WordCount" rel="nofollow">wordcount pluging for sublimetext</a> to exclude everything in square brakets.
  My goal is to count the words in a snippet like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>My name is Frank [p. 12].
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Sublimetext counts this as 6 words. I want it to be 4.
  I used the find by regex function with <code>\[.*\]</code> and it highlights the right portion of the text.
  However, when editing the user settings to include the <code>"cit"</code> part like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>    "strip": {
      "php": [
          "&lt;[^&gt;]*&gt;"
      ],
      "html": [
          "&lt;[^&gt;]*&gt;"
      ],
      "cit":[
          "\[.*\]"
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the error <strong>"Error trying to parse settings: Invalid escape in ... WordCount.sublime-settings"</strong></p>
  
  <p>What other escape character can I use? If I escape it using two backslashes <code>\\</code> the wordcount stays the same.</p>
