Almost all of rx maps one-to-one to the string regexp syntax. The rx docs mention the corresponding string regexps for most forms.
In addition, rx is self-explaining in the sense that a user curious about what a particular expression means needs only to evaluate (rx SOMETHING) to get the translation. (There are external packages for going in the other direction.)
