JRuby 9000 released

Huh, I use `$1` all the time, and see it all the time. Probably because the alternative with an explicit match object ends up being relatively a lot more code and a lot harder to read, really.

If avoiding `$1` has been often recommended for a while... I think it's a recommendation more often ignored than followed.

I've never seen $1 used in production code.

Ouch. That's pretty awful.
