Detailed Description

Regular expression execution context.

When a regular expression "matches" to a string, it generates capture groups etc. This struct holds that info. Visible from Ruby as an instance of MatchData.

Note

There is no way for extension libraries to manually generate this struct except by actually exercising the match operation of a regular expression.
