(defun regexp-opt (strings &optional paren)
"Return a regexp to match a string in STRINGS.
-Each string should be unique in STRINGS and should not contain any regexps.
-If optional PAREN non-nil, ensure that the returned regexp is enclosed by at
-least one regexp grouping construct.
+Each string should be unique in STRINGS and should not contain any regexps,
+quoted or not. If optional PAREN is non-nil, ensure that the returned regexp
+is enclosed by at least one regexp grouping construct.
The returned regexp is typically more efficient than the equivalent regexp:
(let ((open-paren (if PAREN \"\\\\(\" \"\")) (close-paren (if PAREN \"\\\\)\" \"\")))
