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:

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

       o   The "\K" assertion added in Perl 5.009005,

       o   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.
