Thank you!

>If it could be done inline even better

I've been thinking of using a tagged template based mechanism (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...) so no special editor support is needed and then transpile to a normal regex (similar to how htm handles it's syntax with no runtime, https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-htm) but I'm not working on that part of the process yet so it may change.

If Melody does end up using the tagged template mechanism it may end up looking something like this:

  import melody from "melody";

  const batmanRegex = melody`
    16 of "na";

    2 of match {
      <space>;
      "batman";
    }
  `;

That would transpile to:

  const batmanRegex = /(?:na){16}(?:\sbatman){2}/;

Backticks would need escaping but otherwise it'd be normal Melody syntax
