It shouldn't be necessary. Actually the special \s( and \s) in a regular
expresion matches any opening/closing "parenthesis" (generic meaning)
character. This meaning depends on the current mode. From the elisp
manual: "In English text, and in C code, the parenthesis pairs are
`()', `[]', and `{}'. In Emacs Lisp, the delimiters for lists and
vectors (`()' and `[]') are classified as parenthesis characters."
