----------------------------------------
The expression `a =~ b` does not call the =~ method in some cases.
I think it is a bug that results from optimizations.

See the following code for details:

Code that does not work as expected (shows nothing):

$ ruby -e 's = "foo"; class << s; def =~ (rhs); raise "a"; end; end;  s =~ /foo/' # does nothing

Code that works as expected (raises errors):

$ ruby -e 's = "foo"; class << s; def =~ (rhs); raise "a"; end; end;  s.=~ /foo/' # call =~ as a method
$ ruby -e 's = "foo"; class << s; def =~ (rhs); raise "a"; end; end;  s =~ -> { /foo/ }.call' # RHS is not a Regexp literal but a Regexp object
$ ruby -e 's = Objec.new; class << s; def =~ (rhs); raise "a"; end; end;  s =~ /foo/' # LHS is not a String
