✨ NAME ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 💅

🦋 INHERITANCE 🦋

PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX::Unknown is a PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX. it's giving nepo baby but in a wholesome way, it inherited everything good from its parent.

and plot twist: PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX::Unknown has no descendants. it's the end of the line, the final girl, nobody inherits from it. periodt.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea, bestie ☕: this class represents POSIX character classes that Perl recognizes but does not support. like, it sees them, it knows them, it just can't sit with them. at the moment this means:

• [=a=] — equivalence classes
• [.ch.] — collating symbols

caveat, and this one matters: if any of these ever becomes supported by Perl in the future, they will become represented as PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::POSIX objects instead, with an appropriate perl_version_introduced() value. so like, the glow-up is possible. we're manifesting ✨

---

🔥 METHODS 🔥

this class provides no public methods beyond those provided by its superclass. it's lowkey just vibing off the family name, and honestly? respect.

---
