Actually I want to do that. I had an idea to add a node (in org)
"reminding" people that all mentions of regex refer to elisp regex,
which could be different than what people usually know (PCRE) and point
them toward the elisp regex node. I think this point can confuse non
technical people when they are starting to use orgmode and there should
be a mention in the org manual. Most notably are the alternation \|
instead of | and \(...\) grouping instead of (...).

Best,
