> The [3.0.7 Groovy
> documentation|[https://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#_match_operator]]
> could be more clear on regex usage with match operators, particularly:
> # It would be helpful to note here that slashy strings are *required* for
> the match operator to work. `foo ==~ "^\s+$"` will never work. I know
> there's a section dedicated to slashy strings; it would be helpful to have a
> footnote here.
> # This section could benefit from a better example than `{{m = text ==~
> /match/}}`.
