I see that you changed several occurrences of ... ( ... ) ... to
.. \( ... \) ... in the doc string.

You only need to quote a ( in the rare case that it occurs in
the first column of a line, and you never need to quote a ).

Appendix D.6 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual says:

   * If a line in a documentation string begins with an
     open-parenthesis, write a backslash before the open-parenthesis,
     like this:

          The argument FOO can be either a number
          \(a buffer position) or a string (a file name).

     This prevents the open-parenthesis from being treated as the start
     of a defun (*note Defuns: (emacs)Defuns.).
