Regex: only attempt to match string values.

Question

Before this fix, matching a regex pattern against a non-string value would crash like so:

`
java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.Keyword cannot be cast to java.lang.CharSequence
at clojure.core$re_matcher.invoke (core.clj:4460)

clojure.core$re_matches.invoke (core.clj:4497)

...
`
