I'm trying to pin down what $string.match(/pat/) should be returning.
>From S05:
Under "Return values from match objects"
"A match always returns a Match object..."
>From S29:
Under the definition of Str.comb
Saying
$string.comb(/pat/, $n)
is equivalent to
$string.match(rx:global:x(0..$n):c/pat/)
[ ...and later... ]
"If there are captures in the pattern, a list of Match objects (one
per match) is returned instead of strings."
Which implies that $string.match(/pat/) should indeed return a List of
Str and $string.match(/pat_with_groups/) should return a List of
Match.
I expected the S29 definition when first approaching $string.match I
feel it is more intuitive than what happens with S05. Could someone
clarify what the behavior should be?
