Warning: Due to what I think is a bug in Ruby, $1, Regexp.last_match do not yield accurate results when queried after returning from a method call that does a regexp match! If you need access to that data, you’re better off just doing :symbol.to_s =~ /regexp/ yourself. If all you need is a true/false (matches or doesn’t match) result, then you can use this.

:cat =~ /c.t/
