ruby -we "''.scan //"

warns "-e:1: warning: ambiguous first argument; put parentheses or even spaces".
Despite ruby indicates me to put spaces there, I actually couldn't stop ruby warning no matter how much spaces I put there.

% ruby -we "''.scan                                   //"
-e:1: warning: ambiguous first argument; put parentheses or even spaces
