dojo/query fails to find elements with tilde (~) character in id

Description

dojo/query with selectorEngine=acme fails to find elements with id attributes that contain the tilde (~) character: 

// query element with id=this~is~silly
query('#this~is~silly');

The above code snippet works correctly with sizzle. It is also worth noting that thanks to this change ​http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/10651 we can use the following in dojo 1.8: 

// query element with id=this~is~silly
query("[id='this~is~silly']");

Please find the test case attached.

In [29143]:

Verify that tildes can be used in ids, refs #15319 !strict

According to ​http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/grammar.html, tildes must be escaped to be used in the selector ids.
