I think it would be a _lot_ more intuitive to just have apropos
functions interpret PATTERN as a regexp if it's a string, and as a
list of keywords if it's a list. There could be a
"read-apropos-pattern" function that would convert the user's input
into the appropriate lisp value, which could be used directly in the
(interactive ) form of various apropos commands.
That is a very good idea. Would someone like to do it?
