That's not actually documented on the Predicate Format String Syntax 
or BNF Definition of Cocoa Predicates pages.  There's something about 
escape sequences for numbers, but not about string contents.  I 
suppose it's likely that escapes are supported for meta-characters.

I suppose some trial and error would reveal if it works.  I'm not 
that invested. ;)
