Oh great. A new flavour of regex, but it's less portable and more verbose. https://xkcd.com/927/

I wouldn't consider Melody a new flavour of regex as it compiles to ECMAScript regular expressions.

I'd consider being more verbose than regular expressions as a great thing for what this project aims to do, regular expressions are very write optimized which is the wrong (IMO) tradeoff to make in a shared codebase (or even your personal code that's more than a few days old) where code is read much more often.
