Description

Would it be possible to add an option to always return the longhand version of the match? Enabling the json flag forces longhand as well, but has other consequences.

I'm trying to use this module to verify webhook events sent by Facebook and in order to calculate the correct shasum, I need the longform of the converted characters.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by inspecting jsesc's handling of the existing json flag and how match conversion options are processed. Done means a separate option can force longhand output without the other consequences of json, with the behavior verified by tests.
