Hello.

These methods are pretty similar.

I've done some benchmarks and figured out that match is twice faster than scan.

I can try to make a PR, but not sure do we need for it here.

    Friendly reminder: String#match outputs a MatchData while String#scan outputs an Array.

    Yes, but they're similar, but an outside code will be different for the same input data (String and Regexp). But the point of comparison of these approaches is they complete the similar goal.
