(any "a-Z0-9") generated "[0-9]", and (any (?9 . ?0)) generated "[9-0]".
Reversed ranges are either mistakes or abuse. Neither should be allowed.
etc/NEWS: Explain the change.
lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx): Document.
(rx-check-any-string, rx-check-any): Add error checks for reversed ranges.
test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-char-any-range-bad): New test.
Deal with lone backslashes that have no effect in string literals,
but indicate that something is amiss.
* lisp/auth-source-pass.el (auth-source-pass-entries):
* lisp/textmodes/artist.el (artist-figlet-get-font-list-windows):

Add backslash in regexp for correctness.
* lisp/gnus/nnmail.el (nnmail-split-abbrev-alist):
Replace `\||' with `\\|' to follow the obvious regexp intent.
* lisp/org/org-list.el (org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator):
Add backslash in doc comment so that it appears as intended.

Remove superfluous backslashes from regexp.

Remove superfluous backslash from doc comment.
The rx `or' form may reorder its arguments in an unpredictable way,
contrary to user expectation, since it sometimes uses `regexp-opt'.
Add a NOREORDER option to `regexp-opt' for preventing it from
producing a reordered regexp (Bug#34641).
* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Regular Expression Functions):
* etc/NEWS (Lisp Changes in Emacs 27.1):
Describe the new regexp-opt NOREORDER argument.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt.el (regexp-opt): Add NOREORDER.
Make no attempt at regexp improvement if the set of strings contains
a prefix of another string.
(regexp-opt--contains-prefix): New.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx-or): Call regexp-opt with NOREORDER.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el: Test rx `or' form match order.
`rx' incorrectly considers character ranges between ASCII and raw bytes to
cover all codes in-between, which includes all non-ASCII Unicode chars.
This causes (any "\000-\377" ?Å) to be simplified to (any "\000-\377"),
which is not at all the same thing: [\000-\377] really means
[\000-\177\200-\377] (Bug#34492).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx-any-condense-range): Split ranges going
from ASCII to raw bytes.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-char-any-raw-byte): Add test case.
* etc/NEWS: Mention the overall change (Bug#33205).
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx-kleene):
Treat \? and \?? like ? and ?? (Bug#34100).
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el: Add tests for all repetition operators.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el (rx-check-any-string): Rewrite to handle raw bytes
in unibyte strings and accept LF as range endpoints (Bug#33205).
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el: Add tests for the above.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
