I was wanting to migrate from regexp to rx syntax for highlighting.`rx' returns a normal regexp, so you can use whatever you want, can't you?
I think the idea is to be able to *interactively* enter rx syntax and have it highlighted (as opposed to `highlight-regexp' which will obviously treat what you enter interactively as an actual regexp, rather than something to be transformed into one). i.e. These would be equivalent: M-x highlight-rx RET (or "foo" "bar") RET M-x highlight-regexp RET \(foo\|bar\) RET
