Sure, but can it go the other way — turn a regexp string into a parse tree and then into Melody syntax?

Or, at least, the equivalent of CL-PPCRE's parse-string?

That's not supported yet but is planned (see the "reverse compiler" feature in the README)

sounds like it would make an amazing VSCode extension

Awesome idea, will definitely take it into consideration when that feature is available. Melody actually has a VSCode extension with highlighting and snippets, could be added to that
