I see. In that case, it seems that you are ideally positioned to make such an attempt, given your experience with easy-escape. Please forgive me for not pursuing your idea myself; although it has merit, I remain skeptical for two reasons:
First, in contrast to easy-escape, xr is an expanding substitution, sometimes strongly so, and would mess up the code layout, unless care is taken to reformat.
Second, I want to encourage people to actually use rx instead of string regexps, not just paint it over. Your proposal reminds me too much of the current dystopian trajectory of humanity, where we will be living in a polluted wasteland, all wearing AR goggles providing the illusion of an arcadian paradise.
