replace('this is a test of [special] character # "escapes"','([\[\]#&quot;&apos;])','\\$1')

It'd be a stage of its own, so

((tokenize($in)                                                       
! (substring(., 1, 1) || lower-case(substring(., 2)) 
! replace(.,'([\[\]#&quot;&apos;])','\\$1')) 
=> string-join('_')

in the context of the original question.
