I have introduced the following in the function docstring
1. First Capturing Group \*\\(\\s-*\\[\\-\\]\\s-*\\)\*
Why do I get M-x cropping up ?
1. First Capturing Group "\(\s-*\M-x \-\\\s-*\)"

This is because in doc strings the string "\\[COMMAND]" is converted by
substitute-command-keys either into the key sequence bound to COMMAND or
else into "M-x COMMAND", as in your case. To avoid this, use the escape
sequence "\\=": "1. First Capturing Group \\(\\s-*\\=\\[\\-\\]\\s-*\\)".
