- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P 
  body: Returns a string containing the regular expression and its options (using the <tt>(?xxx:yyy)</tt> notation. This string can be fed back in to <tt>Regexp::new</tt> to a regular expression with the same semantics as the original. (However, <tt>Regexp#==</tt> may not return true when comparing the two, as the source of the regular expression itself may differ, as the example shows). <tt>Regexp#inspect</tt> produces a generally more readable version of <em>rxp</em>.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB 
  body: "   r1 = /ab+c/ix         #=&gt; /ab+c/ix\n   s1 = r1.to_s          #=&gt; &quot;(?ix-m:ab+c)&quot;\n   r2 = Regexp.new(s1)   #=&gt; /(?ix-m:ab+c)/\n   r1 == r2              #=&gt; false\n   r1.source             #=&gt; &quot;ab+c&quot;\n   r2.source             #=&gt; &quot;(?ix-m:ab+c)&quot;\n"
