Hm. What xtrace does is dump each individual shell word ... it just
happens to dump them in the order that puts them together as an
"expression". But you'll notice it's not actually an expression, it's
just e.g. a single simple command. In fact it's even a bit weird for
some structured commands (look at the output for a "case" statement
for example).
It's correct that none of this is captured in any sort of format that
would be usable by a shell script. It never exists all at once in
such a format internally.
What exactly might you want captured?
