"\t" is a tab character.
"\\t" is the string \t (which in a regexp stands for a tab).
"\s" is just s (since \s is not a special character).
"\\s" is \s .

Since you do not want any substitution in the regexp string anyway, it is
way more readable if written as a braced string than as a double-quoted
string:

+           regexp -nocase {([0-9]+)\s+(?:(?:#)?\s*include\s+)["']([^"']*)["']} $i dummy lineno include_file

You can also write [0-9] as \d, and (?:#) as just # and the other (?:...)
doesn't do anything either.  So that gives

+           regexp -nocase {(\d+)\s+#?\s*include\s+["']([^"']*)["']} $i dummy lineno include_file

and a little bit more work may make it fit on a line even ;-)
