The xr package is the inverse of rx: it transforms an Emacs regexp = string into rx form. Its purpose is to assist in migration to rx-style = regexps, something I think a lot more people should do, and help = understanding difficult regexps. It is written to take all features and oddities in the Emacs regexp = notation into account. This includes undocumented parts, since such = regexps are found in actual code. The package consists of a single file, right now at = https://github.com/mattiase/xr . It is something I have had lying around = for some time and found constantly useful, and have now had the = opportunity to give some polish.
