Subject: Re: Regexp: why does (re)* return only last repetition?

Okay, I think the problem here is:

  a = "[a-z\\]"
  b = /#{a}/

When the RE is being built, a is being interpolated again. If I've
built my regular expression source string properly, it should NOT be
interpolated again. Is there any way to build a RE from a string
which does not reinterpolate the string? Is there a way to add such
a functionality if it does not exist?

Frankly, /#{a}/ for the above string should be no different than
/[a-z\\]/.
