Using \ as an escape character isn't really a good choice IMO, since
this function deals with filenames.
I would be more inclined to have an option to disable sets in the mask.

@Rolf: you can do a StringReplace on the filename, changing '[' into
'[[]'. That would do the trick.

Let's wait to hear what Delphi does (got no answer yet).
