Not very sure, but from the info emacs regexps:
`\''
matches the empty string, but only at the end of the buffer or
string being matched against.
So I guess that since \' is appearing inside double-quotes, it is
escaped with a \ so that it is not interpolated.

emacs has a interactive regular expression matching routines/debugger? Sounds
very useful! I could not find much in info, how do I use/invoke it?
