Feature #21190: Proposal for the Deconstruct Method in the MatchData Class
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21190

* Author: aristotelesbr (Arist=F3teles Costa)
* Status: Open
----------------------------------------
## Context:

The MatchData class currently lacks the deconstruct method, which is necess=
ary for extracting values from a string using pattern matching in Ruby.

## Current Extraction Method

Currently, extraction can be done as follows:


```rb
result =3D /(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{9})/.match("5586987654321")

puts result[1] # =3D> "55"
puts result[2] # =3D> "86"
puts result[3] # =3D> "987654321"

```


## Proposed Solution:

Implement the deconstruct method in the MatchData class to allow conversion=
 of the MatchData object into an array, enabling deconstruction of its comp=
onents.

```rb
class MatchData
  def deconstruct
    self.to_a
  end
end

result =3D /(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{9})/.match("5586987654321")
result in [_ , country_code, area_code, number]

puts country_code  # =3D> "55"
puts area_code     # =3D> "86"
puts number        # =3D> "987654321"
```
