MatchData#[] with an unbounded Range not supported

[postmodern]

It does not appear that MatchData#[] supports accepting an unbounded range of indices.

Steps To Reproduce

string = "aaaabababab"
regexp = /(ab)(ab)(ab)/
match = string.match(regexp)
p match[1..]

Expected Result

["ab", "ab", "ab"]

Actual Result

<internal:core> core/type.rb:276:in `convert_type': no implicit conversion of Range into Integer (TypeError)
	from <internal:core> core/type.rb:178:in `rb_to_int_fallback'

Unfortunately, that error message isn't entirely helpful. We do support ranges, but only when both the start and end values are specified.

string = "aaaabababab"
regexp = /(ab)(ab)(ab)/
match = string.match(regexp)
p match[1..3] # => ["ab", "ab", "ab"]

There's nothing in the Ruby Spec Suite for this, so it's likely an oversight. We'll fix the issue, but if that's a blocker, you can avoid it by specifying the end value in the range, providing you have it.

As a note, there is MatchData#captures for this exact pattern (from ronin-rb/ronin-vulns@b7f472e#r86454351)

Thank you for report. Fixed in b7d7cd0.
