Can a regexp string be used as a part of an rx pattern?
For instance, can you do this?

  (or "foo+" "bar+")

If not, that might be good to add, so people can get the benefits of
both formats.  You could use the simple regexp constructs that are
easy to read, and use rx instead of the uglier complex regexp
constructs.
