Please note that in the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual there are already
four shorter nodes

(info "(elisp)Syntax of Regexps")
(info "(elisp)Regexp Special")
(info "(elisp)Regexp Backslash")
(info "(elisp)Regexp Example")

that almost completely duplicate the text in (emacs)Regexps.

I think regular expressions is a user-level feature.  So these
nodes should be moved to the Emacs User Manual, and text from
(emacs)Regexps should be merged with text in these four nodes.

Then in the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual only the node
(info "(elisp)Regexp Functions") would remain with a cross-reference
to the Emacs User Manual for description of regular expressions.
