Would it not be better to, instead of displaying the actual regex
itself, display the files that match the regex, and separate the files
onto separate lines? Eg, rather than,

  scope: "^gnu/packages/julia(-.+|).scm$" "guix/build/julia-build-system.scm" "guix/build-system/julia.scm"

we could display,

  scope:
  + gnu/packages/julia.scm
  + gnu/packages/julia-jll.scm
  + gnu/packages/julia-xyz.scm
  + guix/build/julia-build-system.scm
  + guix/build-system/julia.scm

I find this to be much clearer.
