You've convinced me -- plain 'or' is better. I've pushed a patch.
As a pleasing side-effect, some existing rx expressions are now more optimised:
(or (any "a-z") (any "0-9")) now becomes "[0-9a-z]" instead of "[a-z]\\|[0-9]".
The no-class argument restriction is still there, but could perhaps be lifted (partially) later on.
