Hey Andrew,
AFAIK there is no API on the editor for doing this. Styles are write only.
Depending on the text styler that generated the style, there is sometimes an auxiliary data structure that you can dig into to find out style info. For example, the default textStyler.js keeps a list of begin/end offsets of block comments. And the ModeApplier (in mirror.js) that we use to apply CodeMirror highlight modes stores
all the style ranges for each line (ouch).
You can dig around in those if you have access to the styler... but it is not an API.
