Bug #6524: missing "#=>" in example block in Regexp class documentation

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)
• Target version: 2.0.0
• ruby -v: 1.9.3

[nathanst (Nathan Stratton Treadway)]

In the Regexp class documentation, "Performance" section, the code block that starts out "# Match a string of 29 as against a pattern of 29 optional" seems to be the only block of sample code on the page which would return a value but that doesn't include a "#=>" in the sample block to show what is returned.

(Also, it might be a little easier for readers to concentrate on the point of the discussion here if that example was as close as possible to the following one, rather having one use use =~ while the other uses .match() ....)
