Subject: [ruby-core:94238] [Ruby master Bug#16091] gsub

Issue #16091 has been updated by thiaguerd (thiago feitosa).


```ruby
include ERB::Util
def r
  puts "Enter original"
  a = gets.chomp
  puts "Enter a pattern to replace"
  b = gets.chomp
  puts "Enter a replacement"
  c = gets.chomp
  puts "a: #{a}"
  puts "b: #{b}"
  puts "c: #{c}"
  c = html_escape c 
  puts "c escaped: #{c}"
  puts "final: #{a.gsub(b,c)}"
end
```

running 

```
>> r
Enter original
my text and my source: ###
Enter a pattern to replace
###
Enter a replacement
xml.scan(/\<tag>[\s\S]*?\<\/tag\>/)
a: my text and my source: ###
b: ###
c: xml.scan(/\<tag>[\s\S]*?\<\/tag\>/)
c escaped: xml.scan(/\&lt;tag&gt;[\s\S]*?\&lt;\/tag\&gt;/)
final: my text and my source: xml.scan(/###lt;tag&gt;[\s\S]*?###lt;\/tag###gt;/)
=> nil
>> 
```

should not be: "my text and my source: xml.scan(/\&lt;tag&gt;[\s\S]*?\&lt;\/tag\&gt;/)" ??
