Might I suggest #include? instead? Thus, (using <> strings to
represent instances of the class under discussion):

  <.ca>.include?(<halostatue.ca>) # => true
  <halostatue.ca>.include?(<www.halostatue.ca>) # => true

But, I don't use this functionality at all, so you can safely ignore
my suggestion here.
