 * @param {string} [subject=''] The string to verify.
 * @param {RegExp|string} pattern The pattern to match. If `pattern` is not RegExp, it is transformed to `new RegExp(pattern, flags)`.
 * @param {string} [flags=''] The regular expression flags. Applies when `pattern` is string type.
 * @return {boolean} Returns `true` if `subject` matches `pattern` or `false` otherwise.
 * @example
 * v.matches('pluto', /plu.{2}/);
 * // => true
 *
 * v.matches('sun', 'S', 'i');
 * // => true
 *
 * v.matches('apollo 11', '\\d{3}');
