From 32ec6dd5c7cb89979d48100acf8971ac09e0d02e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Evans Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2019 14:43:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Document encoding of string returned by Regexp.quote [ci skip] Also, remove documentation about returning self, which makes no sense as self would be the Regexp class. It could be interpreted as return the argument if no changes were made, but that hasn't been the behavior at least since 1.8.7 (and probably before).
