    Dmitry> OK, if that is your conclusion.

If the most compatible type is string, surely emacs should do no
regexp-quoting or anything else on the argument, but just pass it
verbatim to the backend search command. That way you could do eg

Bug.*0

to get all log entries with a bug reference ending in 0.
