I know about MatchData. Perl's pos function basically returns the position
of the end of the current match. Which sounds like MatchData#end, the
difference is you can set pos so that you specify the begining in the string
of the next search. I haven't seen anything in Ruby like this.

See http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/func/pos.html .
