Subject: [Q] specify start postion of Regexp matching

Hi, all.

Is it possible to specify start position of Regexp matching?

    str = "foo bar baz"
    m = /ba/.match(str)
    p m.begin(0)             #=> 4
    m = /ba/.match(str, 5)   # is it possible?
    p m.begin(0)             #=> 8 (if possible)

If it is possible, some kind of parser or scanner can be
implemented easily.
# StringScanner is a litte too big, I think.
