Thanks David, for the fast response!

Ok, I will see whether somebody on xemacs-beta picks it up.

Do you mean a split in code here?

wrapped around a 

 (when (featurep 'xemacs)
Simplified version
)

something like this?

I will try this, but not right now unfortunately. 

Just in case, I would like to know:

Suppose I come up with a solution the way you suggest it. Would you then
include the corresponding patch to reftex? It should not do any harm to
GNU emacs.  Because otherwise I would have to replace the regexp every
time you release  a new version....
