This is very nice. I have a version of this in my local Emacs config, but it's
on by default and it doesn't put the buffer in read-only more: it uses an
overlay to display the rx regexp instead of the string-based one instead. I've
attached the code if you want to have a look; what's missing is logic to
automatically "unprettify" the regexp when the point is in it, to make edits
easy.
I was originally planning to include this in the easy-escape package, but I
haven't found the time to do it, so feel free to go ahead :)
