Subject: Redefining Regexp#===

Hi,

what's wrong with this code:

   class Regexp
     alias :case_eq :===
     def ===( other )
       case_eq( other )
     end
   end

   p( /x/ === "abxy" )         # => true
   p( Regexp.last_match )      # => nil
   p( /x/.case_eq( "abxy" ) )  # => true
   p( Regexp.last_match )      # => #<MatchData:0x2a67460>

Why is Regexp.last_match not set when calling the redefined method?
This is ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32] on Windows 2000.

Pit
