The regtests are not used in the docs.  Period.

It's possible that a new feature might a file in
Documentation/snippets/new/ which is an exact copy of a new
regtest (actually, I've encouraged this), but we don't have many
of those examples, and I'd expect them to diverge anyway (as the
regtest covers more cases, or the LSR-bound snippet gets better
explanations, or whatever).

I think that any saving of processing time would be measured in
seconds counted on fingers, and the simplification of keeping the
output from input/regressions/ would far outweigh that amount of
time.
