Bug Description
The man page for rename(1p) states that:
rename 's/\e.bak$//' *.bak
will rename all files matching "*.bak" to strip the ".bak" extension (see attachment).
This example doesn't work as the '\e' is not needed at all.
This affects at least the version in Ubuntu 16.04 (but not the version in 14.04).
