## Test code
```ruby
require 'benchmark/ips'

WhitespaceOrNothing = /\A\s*\z/
token = " " * 20
token =~ WhitespaceOrNothing

Benchmark.ips do |x|
  x.report("=~") {
    token =~ WhitespaceOrNothing
  }
  x.report("match?") {
    token.match?(WhitespaceOrNothing)
  }

  x.compare!
end
```

## Result
```
Warming up --------------------------------------
                  =~   271.356k i/100ms
