I think the idea was that a list of words is more natural input at
that point than a regexp. People nowadays are used to Google-style
queries more than to regexps. FWIW, I rarely myself use regexps in
apropos.
Why try to mix regexp input with keyword input in the same command? That's
just asking for trouble. Why not have two different commands -
`apropos-with-keywords' and `apropos'? That's a cleaner way to add treatment
of keywords.
(Worse, but still better than this amalgam, would be to extend the `C-u'
options to provide for keyword input. The default should be the traditional,
regexp behavior, however.)
Sorry, I missed the original discussion.
