shouldn't you retranspile after adding the extra bits in this example?

Given the amount of examples you have in the docstring, I would copy-paste one into the reno for quick reference.

This tests makes me think that we should mention in the reno and docstring that the output of the new constructor is a series of gates instead of a "black box". This is actually the main user-facing difference I see (besides the mcx detail)

Summary
Part of #13046: The
grover_operatoras function.Details and comments
This function is similar to the
GroverOperator, but does not require choosing the implementation of the multi-controlled X gate a-priori and let's the compiler choose the optimal decomposition instead.
