Sorry, I misread your feature request, I thought it's continuation
of adding custom regexp types to search/replace. You are right
that read-regexp misses support for custom regexp formats.
It's easy to add regexp translation to the return value of read-regexp.
But there is one complication: the default value returned by
read-regexp-defaults-function might be a function like
find-tag-default-as-regexp that returns a regexp in the
default format created by regexp-quote.
Do you agree that a pair of two translation functions should be provided:
one to translate a custom regexp syntax to the default regexp syntax
(to be used on the return value of read-regexp), and another translation
from the default regexp syntax to the custom regexp syntax (to be used
to translate the default regexp value added to the minibuffer)?
