Thanks for the praise on ruby/spec :)

OTOH, I'm sure there are such bugs where the specs don't cover every corner-case behavior. Specs are added when finding bugs in alternative implementations and following MRI's NEWS for new features, but there is no guarantee specs are complete.

Hi eregon, I've submitted a fix to ruby/spec already! \o/ (I'm @lopopolo on GitHub.)

One spec I know is missing is how capture groups should not be expanded into globals on `String#=~`. I'll file an issue [0].
