class Regexp
  
  # Simply returns itself. Helpful when converting
  # strings to regular expressions, where regexp
  # might occur as well --in the same vien as using
  # #to_s on symbols. The parameter is actaully a 
  # dummy parameter to coincide with String#to_re.
  #
  #   require 'facet/regexp/to_re'
  #
  #   /abc/.to_re  #=> /abc/
  #
  def to_re( esc=false )
    self  # Of course, things really should know how to say "I" ;)
  end
  
  # Like #to_re, but following Ruby's formal definitions,
  # only a Regular expression like object will respond to this.
  #
  # Note: To be of much real use this should be defined in core Ruby.
