> FilterImpl.toString() is not a complete representation of the filter string that was used to create it: four characters ( '(', ')', '/' and '*' ) should be preceded by a '\' if they are to be used in a value.
> For example,
>   new FilterImpl("(b=\(*)").toString();
> should return '(b=\(*)', but it returns '(b=(*)'. So, it can happen that a correct Filter f, when used in
>   new FilterImpl(f.toString());
> causes an InvalidSyntaxException.
> (see http://www2.osgi.org/javadoc/r4/org/osgi/framework/Filter.html#toString() for what toString() should do).
> See the attached patch for a proposed solution.
