Bug #864: String#include? regexp

• Status: Rejected

=begin
For consistency, String#include? should be able to take a regexp as an argument. I realize that the return value of String#index(regexp) and String#match(regexp) could be used, but String#include?(regexp) would be both more readable and less resource-intensive.

"readable" is subjective. For me, strings do not "include" patterns.
