git config --get?

The problem is that we are matching on two elements: key and value. The
matching style of the key element is chosen by --get versus
--get-regexp.  However, the value_regex is selected implicitly by its
presence, so there is no room to modify the flag in the same way.
Perhaps --literal-value-match or just --literal-value would be a better
name.
