[ruby/strscan] StringScanner#captures: Return nil not "" for
unmached capture
(https://github.com/ruby/strscan/pull/72)

fix https://github.com/ruby/strscan/issues/70
If there is no substring matching the group (s[3]), the behavior is
different.

If there is no substring matching the group, the corresponding element
(s[3]) should be nil.

s = StringScanner.new('foobarbaz') #=> #<StringScanner 0/9 @ "fooba..."> s.scan /(foo)(bar)(BAZ)?/ #=> "foobar" s[0] #=> "foobar" s[1] #=> "foo" s[2] #=> "bar" s[3] #=> nil s.captures #=> ["foo", "bar", ""] s.captures.compact #=> ["foo", "bar", ""] 

s = StringScanner.new('foobarbaz') #=> #<StringScanner 0/9 @ "fooba..."> s.scan /(foo)(bar)(BAZ)?/ #=> "foobar" s[0] #=> "foobar" s[1] #=> "foo" s[2] #=> "bar" s[3] #=> nil s.captures #=> ["foo", "bar", nil] s.captures.compact #=> ["foo", "bar"]

/(foo)(bar)(BAZ)?/ =~ "foobarbaz" #=> 0 $~.to_a #=> ["foobar", "foo", "bar", nil] $~.captures #=> ["foo", "bar", nil] $~.captures.compact #=> ["foo", "bar"]
