Issue #14249 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).
I believe "abc".include?("ab") is much clearer than "abc"["ab"].
Are there real usages of it?
I guess the main concern here is compatibility.

Feature #14249: Remove str[match_str]

I wonder if `str[match_str]` makes sense.
``` Ruby
"ana"['a'] => "a"
```
I would say this is not expected and it brings problems, for example when accessing nested hashes. For example:
``` Ruby
params = { "user" => "Nicolas Cage" } => {"user"=>"Nicolas Cage"}
params["user"]["age"] => "age"
```
I think `str[regexp]` is enough and that `str[match_str]` can be removed.
