I think it would be really confusing to have a different regexp
syntax when prompting interactively to when you're writing code
I do recall discussions about allowing (via a user option) rx syntax
at regexp prompts, however. I think *that* could be nice; but if we
were to have an rx option, perhaps additional options could be up
for consideration as well.
Personally I agree with you that multiple string syntax options has
potential to create confusion, but https://github.com/joddie/pcre2el
shows there's some demand for such things. Perhaps that library
would suffice as a solution for this particular request?
