Subject: bug#36237: Support (rx (and (regexp EXPR) (regexp-quote EXPR)))

First, thanks Noam, this is a very welcome improvement.
[ BTW, please use "--" for rx-compile-to-lisp since I believe it's
  internal.  ]

What do regexp and regexp-quote do in rx-to-string?

I'll let others figure that one out.

FWIW, I have the impression that in most cases where this could be
useful, a better solution would be to provide something like
`rx-defmacro` and/or `rx-macrolet`.
