I see; my mistake.

If `foo-mode' is derived from comint, and sets the
comint-prompt-regexp to `foo-prompt-regexp' (defaulting to "foo>"),
and also uses `foo-prompt-regexp' to modify the paragraph regexp, then
presumably the real dependence is on `foo-prompt-regexp', right?

If so, any use of comint-prompt-regex in that process is a merely an
internal implementation detail of `foo-mode', not really something
that should be documented in comint (as doing so doesn't really help
anybody).
