Description

If it will not use special variables (like $1, $&, $`...),
it can improve the performance by using Regexp#match? instead of Regexp#=~.
Because Regexp#=~ will generate the objects to special variables by pattern matching.

This patch will replace Regexp#=~ without special variables to Regexp#match?.
