StringScanner#matched_size seems to be byte oriented. But that is not documented. Better be documented to avoid confusion.

[1] pry(main)> ss = StringScanner.new([1024].pack("U*"))
[3] pry(main)> ss.skip_until(/./)
[4] pry(main)> ss.matched_size
=> 2
[5] pry(main)> ss.matched.size
=> 1

• Status changed from Open to Closed

Document that StringScanner#matched_size returns size in bytes [ci skip]
