Can you be a bit more verbose here? You mean a String instance method named "match?" that takes a Regexp instance? Please show us in detail why you need that.

Yes, exactly. The methods to match a string with a regexp (or vice versa) are present in both classes:
Regexp#=~
and String#=~
Regexp#match
and String#match
With Ruby 2.4 there's Regexp#match?
and it would only be consistent to implement String#match?
as well.
I would expect String#match?
to work equivalent to String#=~
and String#match
, i.e.
str.match?(pattern) -> true or false
str.match?(pattern,pos) -> true or false
Converts pattern to aRegexp
(if it isn’t already one), then invokes itsmatch?
method on str.
Returns a (...)

I just opened a pull request to add this behaviour: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1483
It surprised me that his behaviour wasn't implemented.
