I think the idea was, instead of
(regexp-quote "my (camaro|thunderbird) goes fast") ->
"my (camaro|thunderbird) goes fast"
to have
(regexp "my (camaro|thunderbird) goes fast") ->
"my \\(camaro\\|thunderbird\\) goes fast"
or even better
(regexp "my (camaro|thunderbird) goes fast") ->
#mysterious-regexp-object
or best of all IMHO:
(rx "my (camaro|thunderbird) goes fast") ->
#mysterious-regexp-object
