> Please patch REGEXP-OPT to take a PAREN 'symbols argument.

As the person responsible for adding the `words' value to PAREN, I'm
going to reject this request.  I think the `words' value was itself
a mistake.  It's just as easy to add (concat "\\<" ... "\\>") around the
call to regexp-opt.  Actually, the whole `paren' argument should
disappear (i.e. be hardcoded to "\\(?:").
