Subject: [ruby-talk:7782] Regex array subscripts

Can someone explain why this is the case:

s="one 123 two"   =>  "one 123 two"
/\d/ =~ s         =>  4
/\d+/ =~ s        =>  4
s[/\d/]           => "1"
s[/\d+/]          => "123"

I like it, but i can't find any explanation of what /<regex>/ returns
that would explain it.
