> This is a proposal to open up read-only access to the internal state of RegExp objects.
> The RegExp parser provides a useful parsed object model for regular expressions. Today it offers three rendering functions:
> 1) To Automaton (for query execution)
> 2) To string (for machine-readable regular expressions)
> 3) To StringTree (for debug purposes)
> There are at least 2 other rendering functions that would be useful:
> a) To "Explain" format (like the plain-English descriptions used in [regex debugging tools|https://regex101.com/r/2DUzac/1])
> b) To Query (queries used to accelerate regex searches by providing an approximation of the search terms and [hitting an ngram index|https://github.com/wikimedia/search-extra/blob/master/docs/source_regex.md])
> To support these and other renderings/transformations it would be useful to open read-only access to the fields held in RegExp objects - either through making them public finals or offering getter access methods. This would free the RegExp class from having to support all possible transformations.
