Description

My use case is using env_filter to configure another logger (pyo3_log). Right now I can only use the top-level filter but if I could access each directive in the Filter instance, it would be trivial to use it in every logger that doesn't have its own utility to parse standard directives.

If the maintainers think this is a good idea, I'm glad to do the actual work.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the env_filter entry point and the Filter representation, then trace how directives are parsed and stored. Determine a public way to access each directive without assuming an API shape; done means consumers such as pyo3_log can retrieve individual directives, with coverage for the exposed behavior.
