Misc #12730: Documentation String.slice!(regex)

In the example
string = "this is a string"
string.slice!(/s.*t/)   #=> "sa st"

When ran in irb the result is different than shown because the regex starts at the first s and then ends at the last t.

in irb 
2.3.0 :001 > string = "this is a string"
 => "this is a string" 
2.3.0 :002 > string.slice!(/s.*t/)
 => "s is a st" 

the documentation should be:

string.slice!(/s.*t/)   #=> "s is a st"
