xxx\(\) is a single word to the Lisp reader, unfortunately. If you
can come up with a good no-op string to put into the DOC string, I'm
willing to let the space go. But anything starting with a backslash
is out since it will become part of preceding identifiers.
And I feel that "\{0\} is decidedly too ugly an idiom for a DOC
string. There must be something nicer, right?
