It will be interesting to see if that example is anything I would put in my code, ever. But it works. That regexp did identify several such occurrences in my Elisp, which I have changed since. It is yet to be found, if it failed to find any - if that indeed happened. Either case, the code still got better. Perhaps the discrepancy gets smaller the better you know your own style?
