It feels petty to show up with a naming not, but the name is unfortunately/confusingly similar to the already well-known RxJS.

Why is it called RX?



I'm happy to hear suggestions. This format was actually the internal .rexc bytecode for Rex (routing expressions), but when I realized it was actually a pretty good standalone format, I renamed it `.rx` for short. I am aware of RxJS, but I think that `rx-format` is different enough and `.rx` file extensions are unique enough, it's not too confusing.
