irb(main):006:1* class String
irb(main):006:1*    alias oldRegex =~
irb(main):006:1*    def =~(o)
irb(main):007:2>     p "string regex"
irb(main):008:2>     oldRegex(o)
irb(main):009:2>    end
irb(main):010:1> end

irb(main):017:0> class Regexp
irb(main):018:1>   alias oldRegex =~
irb(main):019:1*   def =~(o)   
irb(main):020:2>     p "regexp regex"
irb(main):021:2>     oldRegex(o)
irb(main):022:2>   end
irb(main):023:1> end


"abc" =~ /a/
=> 0

Eh?  Where is print statement?
What =~ is being called?

If I do:

irb(main):040:0> "abc".=~ /a/
"string regex"
=> 0

irb(main):041:0> /a/.=~("abc")
"regex regex"
=> 0

all seems logical, thou.

I am obviously missing some other method that =~ uses, right?
