What is the rationale for that?
Is it documented somewhere? I looked for an "elisp style guide" in
emacs/docs/*, and in various READMEs, but didn't see anything obvious.
I find ^ and $ more readable (I had to look up \', and did not know
about \`). Although it does make sense to use the same style within one
regexp.
