I found three instance variables in TestString in test/ruby/test_string.rb.

These select assertions:

• @aref_re_nth = true
  Enables String#[regexp, index] assertions.

• @aref_re_silent = false
  Assignment to unmatched region silently fails, if true.

• @aref_slicebang_silent = true
  Out of range argument to String#slice! returns nil, not raising an exception.

These instance variables for conditional execution have remained unchanged for nearly twenty years, since YARV merger.
It is questionable whether these behaviors can be changed anymore.

So I propose to remove these conditionals.
