Subject: [ruby-core:99156] [Ruby master Bug#17030] Enumerable#grep{_v} should be optimized for Regexp

Issue #17030 has been reported by marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune).

----------------------------------------
Bug #17030: Enumerable#grep{_v} should be optimized for Regexp
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17030

* Author: marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Currently:

```ruby
array.select { |e| e.match?(REGEXP) }

# about 3x faster and 6x more memory efficient than
array.grep(REGEXP)
```

This is because `grep` calls `Regexp#===` which creates useless `MatchData`
