When I wrote re-builder I specifically included a re-builder "syntax"
(reb-re-syntax) governing the entry and display. It defaults to 'read
being compatible with the elisp reader. But you can reb-change-syntax
to 'string and get re-builder to interpret and display the regex as
you need it for a string input.
