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.).
