DESCRIPTION

       This class represents one of the simple assertions; that is, those that are not defined via parentheses.
       This includes the zero-width assertions "^", "$", "\b", "\B", "\A", "\Z", "\z" and "\G", as well as:

       •   The "\z" assertion added in Perl 5.005,

       •   The  "\b{gcb}"  assertion  (and  friends) added in Perl 5.021009.  Similar braced constructions (like
           "\b{foo}") are unknown tokens.

METHODS

       This class provides no public methods beyond those provided by its superclass.

   is_matcher
       This method returns a true value because an assertion actually matches something.
