But ``\(foo\|bar\)'' would look like ``"\\(foo\\|bar\\)"'' if these
fields used the sexp widget instead of the regexp widget. `\' is used
a lot in regexps.
One could of course come up with a new meaning of `\' that doesn't
correspond to what you tell the Lisp reader, nor to what is described
in the Regexp section of the manual, nor to what is expected by
commands such as `isearch-forward-regexp'. I believe that would be
evil.
The current syntax is the same as the syntax expected by
`isearch-forward-regexp'.
