Subject: [ruby-core:94241] [Ruby master Bug#16091] gsub

Issue #16091 has been updated by alanwu (Alan Wu).


`gsub(pattern, replacement)` always interprets `replacement` as a regex replacement directive.
You can use the block form to substitute verbatimly:
```ruby
a = "test ?"
b = "?"
c = "\\&"
a.gsub(b) { c } #=> "test \\&"
```
