It was a visual count of printed pages in the pdf; a lot of lines in the source
are mark-up.
In any case, the attached patch has @ifnottex added to it. I didn't move the
text to a separate file, since there was no existing "lispref-extras" document
to put them in. In addition, some of the additions were to existing sections
(pcase, and the complex regexp example).

Thank you very much for clearing that up; I always wondered.
Also attached is a patch for replacing the rx doc string with a condensed
summary. I basically copied the one I wrote for ry.
