REWRITE RULES

128       rewrite is an object where keys are regular expressions and values are
129       rewrite rules if the expression matches. Rules may contain references
130       to captures of the expression.
131
132       Regular expression and replacement follow ECMA-script rules.
133
134       If no expression matches, the format output is left unchanged.
135
